Help me with lights

I don't like buying cause I don't really know what I'm getting, so I'm gonna grow. I understand light for vegatative growth should be above 5000K and for flowering around 2700K. Do I use one set of bulbs for the first stage and another set for the second stage? Or should I have both spectrums at the same time for both stages?

The latter. About 70-80% 6500 in veg and 70-80 2700 in flower

You can use both spectrums but I have found it best to make sure that the ratios of spectrums change when you go 12/12 into flowering. But I would just use one set at a time. All daylight (5000k) for veg and change to the soft white (2700k) when you go 12/12.

Adding spectrum can only help your plant. illegal is right with the ratio's if you want to go that route. if you dont have the money or whatever you can grow with just the 1 spectrum of light, its just perfect. i have done all my grow's with just 1 spectrum due to funds and it worked out very successfully!
