T5 Bulb Temperature Recommendations

I am on my first grow (single plant) and I have a 4 bulb T5 fixture. I have 8 bulbs, 4 6500k & 4 3000k. I am about 4 weeks give or take into flowering. I currently have 2 of each in the fixture. Is this the right approach?

Thanks!

That is exactly how you should do it, a mixed spectrum works alot better than just one or the other. do you have them like red-blue-red-blue or like red-red-blue-blue? i'd have the bulb colors alternating like the red-blue-red-blue(or blue-red-blue-red, doesnt really matter which.
