use a MH bulb for veg and a HPS bulb for flowering...

i think hortilux makes the most expensive ( possibly best ) bulbs

Its easy enough to find a 150w HPS bulb online or even at a hardware store. But to run a HPS you are going to need a ballast aswell as a fixture. If your fixture is just a plain 150w fixture, get a 150w CFL. You can find these very easy online aswell.

you may be limited with the 150w hps, those nice grow bulbs probably only come in larger sizes, 400w and up
1000bulbs.com has a pretty good selection of hps bulbs with different kelvins, which may give little more choice

I like 1000bulbs.com. They have been great to me.
