i need help seeing if this pcb will even work or not its my first build ever so please be gentle.

the led i am using x4

i am running on a 12v cc input to a barrel jack, i noticed the jack didn't have a negative so i just grounded each end of the series. the ground at each led is how i think the manufacturer says to run it because its just a heat sink. i think at this setup with the 2ohm resistor i should be right up against 1 amp max per led which i think is good because horticulture lights are supposed to be bright right ?
some questions i had where if i split the power into series from the 12v will it split the power to 6 v? heres an example of how i had it set up first but my friend said that it would split the 12v to 6 volt for each branch of leds whereas my dad says it wont. pic3
another question i had was in a barrel jack i noticed it has this weird positive, gnd then gnd break and i tried to read and explanation about it but what i got from it was that if your not using it you can just gnd them so hopefully i did that right.
the led will be on like 12 hours a day so if theres anything that i can do to make it safer let me know!
Thanks so much guys ! this is my first post here so im sorry if i broke the meta or something.
