If the light is that dimmed, you should get it within 16" of the seedlings....what is the schedule? I see one is an auto...I prefer 18/6 for that. The other is a bag seed and this may be an issue later...you'll need to switch the light to 12/12 to flower and this is the bare min for autos...they'll still grow, but just sloooooooooow. I usually just grow all autos @ 18/6 and that way I am able to cycle in seedlings every 6-8 weeks (perpetual).
4x4 is a great space and should be able to handle up to 4 plants...not familiar with that light, but even if is is not optimal to cover 4 plants full time, you can always rotate them for better coverage. The beauty of more plants is you increase you learning curve as well as your yield.

18/6 , soil, no nuts. I have m inside right now till they get big enough then transfer them to the tent . I was thinking about doing some training on the auto I have been reading and there has been mixed feelings on this subject. Any expirence in that area ? Thanks for responding .

Depends on their growth under your circumstances, but basically when the branches are long enough to bend without overly stressing/breaking them...around 12" (30cm)...so usually 3-4 weeks from popping. I usually attach the pipe cleaners and give a gentle tug Day 1 of LST and then come back in 2-3 days and give them a better tug outward...it is a slow gentle process and really all you are doing is opening them up for better light...they don't need to be ripped wide open.

I go by nodes and usually cut above 4/5 depending on the particular plant.

I just looked up that light on Amazon. It only pulls 138 Watts from the wall and the light maker only recommends flowering in a two by two area. If you're trying to figure if that's enough light for a 16 square foot space it is not. That light on it gives an average of 8.6 watts per square foot and you should be around 40 or 50. Personally my own light only does 25 watts per square foot so I will need to up my average.
We need to see some pics...might be time to crank the light intensity and lower it...
Add a lot of pics...makes it much easier and will get more traffic. Make sure to put the link in your signature so other can find it.
I think he knows this....but he has the space to add more plants and more lighting...which is a natural progression. Lights can be ordered and arrived in a few days...starting new plants takes longer.

I read 4 leaves.....not to interrupt....just letting u know what I read...
That's correct. Above the 4th set of leaves but below the 5th set.
