(using both in one room for flowering) which oone would i use.. 2 hps 600watt OR 1 hps 600watt and one mh 600watt? and for reflection i would use flat white paint. 2-3 coats for max reflection

with a 5x5 area i would get a 1000 watter.
Flat white works good.

I would agree that 1000 would work, you bet. But if you really want the most trichomes do the mix of 600mh and 600hps in a single reflector. I prefer mylar but if you want to paint Behr brand ultra pure white is good, or similar.

Are you prepared for all that heat?

yeah the room isn't set up yet but i'm gonna have about 2 circulation fans in the room it's self and then i'm going to have 2 ceiling fans for bathrooms and a squirel cage for exhaust also the i'll have 2 more bathroom fans for intake.. so i'm thinking that should do.. and i'm also going to have a dehumidifier to keep humidity at about 60% ..if needed.. i can add another fan to the exhaust tho

I say just go with 2 600w HPSers.. or even 1 1,000 and 1 600. No need to mix imo.. wouldn't even mix evenly anyways.
