Another lighting question for the masters

[SigmaGenosys]

I have two babies in a bubbler i made out of a 5 gal bucket and over them i have a worklight with two 40W "Natural Daylight" fluorescent lights.

Do I need more lighting?

Also, i have a 150W ultra beam lightbulb that i got from a knocked down school-zone light- Is this HPS? Rick at home depot says it is but im not certain cause it doesnt look the same. I will add pictures as soon ASAP.

I'd get a HPS or MH system for your plants as they will develop bigger and better buds. They don't cost as much as you think. Here's where I get all my stuff. Best prices on the web. www.mdhydro.com

i thought i should use a HPS for flowering, can i use it for vegging also?

I'm using an HPS light for veg and flowering and they seem to be doing well. Could probly be better if i had a MH too but i'm happy with what i've got so far

Sigmagenosys...that is a good start. fluoros or metal halide is generally better for veg...hps for flower
you can use an hps for entire grow...better than mh, but many growers are going to cfl's for stealth and economical reason's...you need 4-6 cfl's to do a 2 plant grow; imho...goodluck...latewood
