The same rules apply to auto's. 5k for veg, 2700k for flower, or 2700k throughout the whole grow. Or a combination of both.

we would suggest a mixture of 6500k, 2700k with 5000k as a supplement
Rule of thumb 3:1 6500/2700 for veg visa-versa for flowering

The 2700k will provide more red light which is a benefit during flowering, but 5000k will also work
Go with a mixture

From what I read,The 'blue' light helps to stimulate chlorophyll production, and helps to create thicker leaves. Which is quite the opposite of what you want in flowering. Red, with a combination of blue help encourage flowering. If you can only have one or the other, definitely go with 3:1 red/blue.
