Flowering with T5 - full spectrum, more red, all red??

Hi there!! I'm hoping some of you can provide your opinions on this. I am in my first grow and I have 4 plants in a 2x2 tent. I have a2ft 8 bulb T5 light fixture I have been vegging for about 3 weeks and plan to veg them for another 2-3 weeks before flipping them to flower. Currently, I am running a full spectrum for veg - ie. 4 blue bulbs and 4 red bulbs. The guy at the hydro store I bought my gear from said I'm best to maintain a full spectrum for the whole grow. That said, I have heard a lot of people say that I should flower with more red than blue or even go all red. Anyone have any thoughts on this issue? Thanks in advance!!

i think using both will give you all you need, but bulbs are cheap and going all red won't hurt you either. you'll have to try it both ways to see what you like better.
