    I have a grow box box, 36" H x 16" W x 9.5" D and currently have the 5 - 13w lightbulbs below. I don't want to get a HPS, due to heat. My plants are doing very well with the 5 - 13w bulbs it is feeding off of! Very surprised!

    I ran into the Mini CFL 26w bulbs, It also has more lumens than the regular sized 13W bulbs that I have. Would it be wise to replace all 5 of my 13W with the 5 - MINI 26W CFLS?

    Also what is the difference between a MINI 26W CFL and a regular 26w sized CFL? Does the size make a difference? Mini and Regular sized both give off the same lumens

  2. Go for it. I'd replace them all with the mini's. And if the lumens and color spectrum are they same then there is no difference between the full size and mini bulbs. Things get smaller every year.
