70/30 or so is better, 50/50 will work.

The rule of thumb is to use a 2:1 ratio of the correct spectrum (65 for veg 27 for flower). 1:1 will work especially since you're only using two bulbs. It really only matters for efficiency when you're using a lot of bulbs because plants wont absorb the whole spectrum of the lights used for the other stage, so its a waste to have so many
