Need help with grow light setup!
I recently got some grow lights for my Moon Valley Pileas and my one Zebra Hawthornia. I had to put an A/C in the window, so this is their supplemental light for the summer. So far, so good! My one pilea has little pink/red sprouts EVERYWHERE, and the other one is more vibrant. My hawthornia is growing new stems too! But I bought 2 of these to test which one would be better, and could use some help determining which one would be best.
The one with the red bits is the first one I purchased and have been using for the past couple of weeks. It's a 24w/250w equivalent. 5000k, daylight. 3000 lumen. There's also a 32 watt one of these if it'd be better for my needs.
The bigger one is the 2nd one, I just got it and began using it today. Doesn't have the red specks- don't know if they make a difference. 36w/400w equivalent, 4000k, daylight. 3250 lumen. Much bigger and slightly brighter than the last one.
Which one might be better suited for my plants? Or should I get the 32 watt version of my first one? I know practically nothing about grow lights, but I'd appreciate any insight! Just want my lads to thrive.

@EarlyGreyknight yup! They both are technically. The 2nd one is a 36 watt, and the first one I bought is a 24 watt. I just don't know if the red flecks of light would be more beneficial? The 36 watt one is warmer light too, while the 24 watt one is 5000k. I don't know a ton about grow lights 😅
