growing with power compacts?

[danknugg]

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

you can use cfl's during bloom, you will get decent buds, but nothing like HID

this is the light im basically using, 10k 55w power compact, is there a difference between that and cfl's?
