Ok here we go, this is my very first grow (with mistakes and no planning or reading ahead of time) I started off with some old bad seed I had (mistake 2) and planted them in a bin I keep filled with miracle grow organic choice garden soil that I use for yard work (mistake 3). I started out 16 bag seeds and thought only a few would sprout as I didn't germinate them and they were real old, but a week later they ALL sprouted. That's when I found this great site and started reading into growing and decided to give it a shot, so off to lowe's to get supplies for my set up (mistake 4) heres a list
2 three socket vanity kits
3 26w daylight 6500k CFL's
3 26w soft white 3200k CFL's
20 ft ext cord
here's a few pic's
all 16 at week 2
my set up
At week 2 I picked out the 4 best looking ones and killed the rest I thought the spacing would be ok (mistake 5)
here's a pic of the final 4 at week 3
My problem is this, at 1 month old there only 6'' tall and 10'' wide so my spacing is way off, to combat this I started cutting off fan leafs once the leaf got 4'' long (not sure if this was a mistake or not).
what should I do about the spacing? should I kill a few off 2 maybe 3? should I start to flower them wait for sex then kill the males? or just scrap the whole grow and start from scratch the right way?
here's a few more pic's

Any info or suggestions would be great, thanks in advance for all your help
