Power Compact Growing

recently i've been growing 2 seedlings under a 55w daylight 10k power compact fixture, and the growth is incredible. my question is, how long can i actually go using power compacts, im thinking during the bloom to save money on the elec, and due to small space instead of a MH or HPS maybe a couple hundred watts of power compact light. if anyone has expirence or tips to give please do.

here's a picture at 17days from the seed

I have posted 3 pictures..

these are the same plant..

picture 1 is 17 days old
picture 2 is 35 days old
picture 3 is 35 days old

this plant was started from a clone

the plant is being grown under compact fluorescent bulbs in miracle grow soil with 8.0 phed water.

the plant was switched to 12/12 at 10 days old


THIS IS AN EXPERIMENT - ph 8 water is not correct... do not try this at home
: )

hope this helps..

danknugg, out of curiosity how big is that first large leaf (how many inches long)? And what strain is it?

Its about 3 inches long, and as far as the strain goes not exactly sure, came from some nugs i bought, long fluffy skunk is all i remember. came from place where the kid had over 10 pounds of the same bud, so im thinking its a high yeilding stativa

very cool leaves
