My plants are flowering right now on 150w hps. I have to be leaving for vacation for about a week and I don't want to leave my 150watt HPS unattended because I'm afraid of fire risk or something happening. How bad would it be if I left them on 6 40W CFL (same amount of lumens) 2700K for one week?

1 week seem's risky for any type of lights... I guess just make sure you have enough ventilation and make sure the lights arent to close.

i changed from a 600watt hps to 400watts of cfl's during flowering for a week when i went away a few months ago and they were fine when i came back.i'll be doing it again in a couple of weeks,just give them a good watering before you leave them. good luck.

that will work well as you wont have any real heat problems with CFL's, and little chance of burning your bud's, have you sorted any think out for watering them?
