When I started out, I used a similar light system (and sometimes, I still do. Kids can sometimes be spooked by bright, popping strobes). So, here's my suggestion to make it better:

Get two of these (one for each Stand): http://www.homedepot.com/p/Leviton-660-Watt-Keyless-Twin-Socket-Lamp-Holder-Adapter-R52-00128-00W/100356967?N=5yc1vZc7po

Or better yet, two of these http://www.amazon.com/Fancierstudio-Socket-Adapter-Holder-Splitter/dp/B00HZV2938/ref=pd_sim_p_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=111K6T4N5Y3EHWN2T2PX

And get 4 pack (or two) of 100w daylight balanced CFL bulbs (2 or 4 on each stand). This should help out with tossing more light into the subject, so you could shoot with a faster shutter speed, and still be in the safe zone, electrically speaking, so it shouldn't damage/set fire to your kit.

With CFL, there's a magic shutter speed due to CFL flicker/frequency on multiples of... 1/60? (someone please correct me if this is wrong). So, shoot at 1/60, or 1/120, etc etc (please please please someone correct me if I'm wrong here).

Speaking of CFL... sheesh that green tint. Try setting your camera's White Balance to Fluorescent, which should help remove that green tinting. I don't trust Automatic WB. Look up how to use/operate your camera's Custom White balance. For most cameras, it's basically taking a picture of a white piece of paper [or something specifically made for this purpose] in the scene you're shooting in, and telling your camera to use that as a point of reference.

EDIT: I shoot for my wife's dance studio.. one thing I learned is that using CFL bulbs, I can really get those lights up close to the kids. It's cool and safe enough to be close to your subject. But not too close that you'll notice lens flare on the camera. Just make sure your lights are out of frame, give or take 6 inches.

There are splitters that exist that could split that into 4 sockets. Something like this

I would put the highest wattage CFL that you can buy. Avoid halogen or incandescent light, as they emit more heat and less light than CFLs.

Welcome to the wild world of growing! Prepare for fun and frustration.

When people state watts in this forum (and anywhere else really as it relates to growing), they most certainly do NOT mean the equivalent.

It's going to be a little tricky to get a single CFL bulb at that wattage. If you only have the option of 1 female receiver, I'd look into this. Or this with several bulbs in it.

I'm not sure what size space you're dealing with, but lighting is important. Do yourself a favor and get something that'll work well.

So 4 CLF all together? This is just a test grow in theory to get stuff ready and so I know how to grow come next time. Would you recommend on of these? http://www.amazon.com/Fancierstudio-Socket-Adapter-Holder-Splitter/dp/B00HZV2938/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1452620800&sr=8-2&keywords=light+socket+splitter

You could get a cheap generator like this, buy a DC to AC/USB Power Adapter, get a four socket light, plug them with these, and focus the light with this (with foil taped inside it to amplify and reflect the light).
