High Pressure Sodium, though I suggest buying a multi-spectrum bulb when your MH burns out.

Well if it's brand new then you may have to wait a while. MH's CAN do flowering. Not recommended though, the buds tend to be thinner, a bit longer and less dense, get a couple red spectrum CFL's in addition to the MH and you should be in business.

Yeah the blue ones would be 6500k those are for veg, you need the big 68 watt 2700k for flowering, a few of them actually and you should be good.
