Default lighting question

I have a 4 bulb HO T5 fixture. Runnign 54w bulbs, two white, two blue. It has 2 switches. I currently have 2 blue on one switch and 2 white on the other. Should I mix it and have 1 white and 1 blue on each switch? If I have them on, I usually just leave both switches on.

The way you have it is just fine. Have your blues come on/off about an hour before/after your whites for a dusk to dawn affect.
