(respective to the height of the flag, from top to bottom):
2/5ths of red, 1/50th of white, 8/50ths of green, 1/50th of white
and 2/5ths of red. See here also

Mark Sensen, 25 May 1997
Stripes: 20+1+8+1+20. Star is contained in imaginary circle of
diameter one-tenth of flag height. H&S in imaginary square of sides
one-fifth of flag height. Imaginary circle of star touches the imaginary
square of H&S. Centre of star is at point one-tenth of flag height
from upper edge of flag. Vertical ax of star and H&S at one-third of
flag height (= one-sixth of flag length).
Mark Sensen, 20 Jun 2001, quoting
[sol85]
According to Sokolovʼs book [sol85],
the thin white stripes are not just due to a heraldic concern, as «The
light-blue stripe symbolises the cloudless sky over Uzbekistan sending
generous rays of the sun to the fertile soil. White edgings at the
light-blue stripe represent advanced cotton growing — “the white gold”
of the Republic.».

The last change of the soviet era was made on 29 August 1952 (Decree
of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet), when the striped flag was adopted.
The blue is for the sky and the white is for the cotton; the red is the
revolutionary struggle of the working masses; the hammer and sickle is the
union of the workers and peasantry, and the star is symbol of the proletariat
international. The flags have several regulations and dispositions about
this: 1 November 1952, 30 December 1953, 31 October 1955, 27 September 1974,
14 October 1974 and 30 July 1981.
