I hate to be a dumbass but...

Would a 55 watt Fluorescent light be ok for about 2 - 3 weeks of growing 2 plants?

Then were getting a HPS

If the bulb says 55Watts right on it that should be okay for the time you said, yeah.

But if it is a compact florescent - then the 55 Watt part might be a number for what kind of regular incandescent bulb it is going to equal.

The package mighta said "equal to" or "replaces" a 55 Watt.

That might mean it could be weaker than you want, even for the first couple of weeks. Does it say 55 Watt right on the bulb glass?

Is it a CFL (compact flourescent) or a regular flourescent?

YES

I am in the same situiation...so 55W is sufficent,I'm get one long one or two short 30 w if 30 w exists but you get the idea.
Just need enough time to grow alittle and sex em' (3 weeks)

Does this sound good for that task?
