First cfl grow, new homeade setup

Had a big incident happen when my mother found out about my grow in her shed. However, the shed was giving me really bad heat problems and contributed to a good vegging grow..=( ne ways, i went to home depot bought a shit ton of pvc piping and T fittings and built my own grow room inside my fricken room away from my moms paranoid mind!

I got 4 pack of 23 watt cfl which are 60w daylight n:nvidia or something like that... hooked them up to garden lights with Y socket fittings.
IS This Enough for a veg room? i have a 400w hps light for the flower room on top of my veg room.

I have only 1 Bigbud mild veg growing and 1 LR#2 seedling. Cuz of the heat being max 114F in the shed i was like watching my babies burn to death. sad as it may seem i learned from this and will never do it again.

[BTW WILL BE POSTING PICS AFTER I GET THE PLUG TO CONNECT TO MY LABTOP TONITE SORRY FOR INCONVIENANCE IN ADVANCED]

qUESTIONS..seedling is about 1 and a half old does it look ok so far...
Big buds stem is a little purple at the top what is this from? And the leaves are burning from the sides what is this from?


:joint::joint::joint:smoke 1 till pics......
 
Pic update....

400 is overkill but it will work fine for 1 plant. Be sure and don't get in a hurry to feed them nutes till there good and healthy. A good potting soil supplies plenty of nutes for veg. Looks like you got a good little setup there. Small closet a 400 hps is going to have a heat issue.
 
some pics of the new grow setup i made. should i put another Y socket inthe other y socket and make open 1 more spot to put maybe a 100 w cfl? these 60w cfl give off 630 lumens each is that ok so far for these to i got now?

Mylar has just been ordered will be here soon, so maybe the lighting getting through wont be a situation afterwards.

pic update woooops......

some more pics to help...

so should i go get more Y socket fittings and get 2 other 100w cfl to go inthere ?

Question.. will the mylar be thick enough to trap the light in there, so it wont get out? i bought 50ft x 50in 1 mil is that ok?
 
oops sorry forgot to post pics
