Quick update. I snapped a few pics. We're using miracle grow nutrients right now since its all we have and its better than none. We're still a little under-lit, so growth isn't the best. The cup in the middle has miracle grow soil in it too, the others are just another soil. I got a few more lights, just need to get em wired up.

I once saw a DIY post on how to take the base off of a CFL to wire them in parallel and save from having to buy sockets or splitters. Since then, I've searched for about 2-3 days and haven't seen the post again, does anyone know which I'm talking about?

Also, what seems to be the problem in pics 2 and 3?
