If you can fit 2 lights in that tent without any heat problems it would be much better than one!!! Using the HPS for flowering is good, but having the MH as well your rocking! If you can hang that MH vertically it would be perfect. They say MH is good for veg and HPS for flowering, but having both is optimal for all of the flowering period.

I run a tent with two 600's (5x5x7) and i would have major problems with heat if the hoods where not massivley air cooled.

The MH is good for vegetating plants, the HPS for flowering. Using both is better, but if you have to do your whole grow with one or the other, use HPS. And your plants, judging by the pics are ready to flower at any time you want. If you want them bigger with more buds, let them go for a bit longer providing you have the room.
