    With the lights that I have, will I get decent growth?

    Another question. Do I need true Actinics with the Combination that was recommended? I also swapped out the GE 6500 with the ATI Aquablue+

    Also, what are Actinics for specifically?

    Your growth should be good. You will not need actinic bulbs. Actinic is 420nm light. It is a deep blue to violet color. It helps make fluorescing pigments show off. Most of the bulbs you bought have some actinic spectrum in them.
