You want your blue hues to be there during the veg state for flowering you want them red hues to replicate sunset you can use the same light but it may affect your growth, some people use the veg and bloom at the same time the whole way through

Hey, buddy! 👋 During the vegetative stage, any cannabis loves 6500-6400K (not cold and not warm - the golden mean for light temperature) - a reasonably priced LED lamp from a hardware store, with a power of 15W to 40W (depending on the size of your tent from 0.3m2 to 1m2) is enough. 👌 Check the packaging; it should indicate the light temperature, look for 6500K or 6400K. 👌 During flowering, any cannabis requires more red spectrum and less blue. Red LEDs, orange, warm light 3500-3000K, multi-spectrum (often contains infrared and ultraviolet LEDs), HPS gas-discharge lamps (which provide warm light) - all of this is suitable for flowering any cannabis! 👌 Autoflowering differs from others only by its limited vegetative period and automatic flowering, which is not related to the lighting schedule! 👆 And it's very important to know the light levels if you're looking for lamps or testing them. You can measure the illuminance (lux) in the cultivation area above the plant! Install a free app called "luxmeter" from the market on your smartphone, wipe your phone's screen well, and clean it from grease and dirt. The light sensor is usually located on the screen part and often competes with individual lux meters. Check the illuminance above the plant. Adjust the lamp height so that it doesn't heat the plant to shock states but stays within the lux range. Effective illuminance ranges, starting from planting the plant: Day 1 (250-500lux) Day 2 (500-1000lux) Day 3 (1000-2000lux) After five pairs of leaves, full vegetative stage (2000-20000lux) Flowering (20000-90000lux). In theory, the most optimal for flowering is considered to be (45000-65000lux). Good luck, buddy! ✊😇

The difference in light spectrum is not as important as some people claim they are. I use flowering lights for vegetation all the time. While it may not be 100% the optimal wavelengths, it's not worth buying different lights for veg/bloom in my opinion.

Just a good adjustment of the light distance to avoid burning them.
