For flowering? No. Blue light isn't really necessary during flowering although it can help combat the initial stretch of the plant if you are in a vertically challenged growspace.

no man, the time you want "blue light" is when the plant's in veg growth not when it's flowering.


Also you don't use blue colored bulbs you use a bulb that emits light in the blue spectrum. HPS is best at this but you also get CFLs that do a good job:

6.5k (105W) = full color (blue) spectrum "daylight" - good for veg growth
2.7k (
42W) = red spectrum "soft white" - good for flowering
