When I used HID lights I always used HPS plant bulbs for grow and flower as do many people.
Technically MH has mostly blue light which inspires growth and HPS has mostly red light which inspires flowering but there is enough blue light in the HPS plant bulbs to inspire growth and lots of red light to complete the flowering.
600w will grow 6 or 7 plants if the plants are smallish / flower early as the Autoflowers do as a 600w is good for about a 4x4 space.
I would suggest you buy 1 more HPS if you want mo space / light for the plants.
There are many HPS bulbs available that are very balanced with plenty of the blue light.
A HPS street light may be lacking in the blues but most of the HPS plant lights will be well balanced.
tip: use a light mover / rail to extend your 600w bulbs reach.
