Is the blue spectrum important in flower? Par pro 1100W HPS question

First post ever,
The question is should i use 2x the par pro at 1100w or one par pro and one hortilux at 1000w (wich have more blue spectrum and less IR) i have attached the spectrum graph of both. So far, the par pro seems to penetrate the canopy noticeably more.

If both brand of light should be used, wich side should i put the hortilux? I have some light loss/blow by on the side of the smaller plant.

They are at day 14 of 12/12
Grow setup
I have a 4x8 tent with one big blue god plant (blueberry x god bud) and one more regular sized critical orange punch. In canada i am limited in plant count to four, the blue god plant was given to me ready to flower when i had just started the CoP, so naturally i let them grow to fill the space.
Grow medium is coco/perlite, drip system waters every hour when the light are on and twice when light are off.
Nutes is Remo’s full line with AN additives (sensizym, bud factor x, bud blood+pirhana+voodoo juice at transition, will use overdrive and nirvana later) with green planet rezin and terpinator. (I have so many left over bottles i wont buy back half of them)

Since im limited in plant count (i have 2 other plants elsewhere, a mother plant multi strained grafted running all year to clone and one in veg) i do SCROG, both plants have had all fan leaves defoliated at day 0 and the thicker canopy one will be defoliated again at day 18-20.

temperature ranges from 72-78 humidity 40-50

Thank you for your time.

Blue/white is typically used more in VEG, Red causes stretch and is more for bloom. IR in led will actually help heat the leaves, since blue and red wave don’t efficiently.

Google this because I can’t link the article because it goes to a no sponsored site. Very interesting read.

@AdaminCO I follow blackdogled too, will get one by next year.

I will do a test on the same plant, since my plant get 2 lamp coverage, i hope to see a difference between the buds under the hortilux and under the parpro.
Hortilux left (bluer spectrum) par pro right
I will run both at 1100w because im like that.

One picture is colour corrected by placing hps glasses over my phone.

They are just starting day 16
