I agree the pics would help but, in any event, those 13W bulbs are too small. Are the 5 bulbs all on one side or split up between the two sides? You may want consider moving up to 42W bulbs, what are the temps n there with the current set up?

I still think that you are going to need more light and when you essentially triple the size of the bulbs, if you do, it will run your temps out of an acceptable range.

Equvilant doesnt matter. You need more than 16w. You need 26w or higher if your using cfl
this is correct, check out the CFL growers thread in the indoor growing section. you will see that when using CFL's you have to go by actual wattage and not the equivilent rating.
