My LEDS don't offer that option but I say more is better . Cant hurt . Just adding more of certain spectrams I assume .
Someone smarter than us will chine in here I am sure .2-4X4 tents, 1200 WATT LED'S in Promix Organic with worm castings , vermiculite, and bone meal with Island Nutes and 7 gal grow pots

Plants don't need different spectrum in veg and flowering stage. We use different spectrum because of HID Bulbs weaknesses. MH bulbs emit good blue/red ratio but they are much less efficient than HPS bulbs(around 100 lumens per watt vs 150 lumens per watt of HPS). Although HPS bulbs have great intensity but they have weak blue/red ratio. We use HPS for flowering just because they are red-rich(that encourage flowering) and much intense than MH. We satisfy some blue color to gain light intensity. This blue deficit of HPS makes plants to stretch more but it is better for flowering than MH.
In flowering you can easily double light intensity without reaching too much light for photoperiod plants(in fact if you double light intensity you actually gave you plants less than 33percent light per day) so switch on everything you have on your LED panel.

Yeah definitely you want both switches on in flowering. I'd go as far as to say you want them both on as soon as possible, as soon as your plants can take all the light.
I have a P300 LED and on my auto grow I clicked the bloom switch at 4 weeks, next time around I'll try 3 weeks I think.Sand, sea, sun, sausages, and sinsemilla.
About all you can do in life is be who you are. Some people will love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them, and some won't like you at all.
