Yes, I mean in series.
But two strings can not use the same R values.
So sad it very hards to calculate the current and R.
the forward voltage drop does not identical in each LED.
and it changes when current change too.

ex:

strings 1 :   ( 12 volt - ( 3.453 + 3.6324 + 3.833 ) ) / 40 ohm = 27 mA

Now I want 20 mA ,  How to calculate the resistor ?
Since forward voltage change when the current change too.
