Need advice/suggestions for 8x5 WALK IN CLOSET and 1000 WATTER

Hi everyone and thanks for reading!
It is an 8x5 closet , the first 3x5 feet is work/ fan space and the remaining 5x5 feet is plant space. There are 19 seedlings that are 5 days old since they first broke soil.
6 Cataract Kush, (feminized)
6 Confidential Cheese,(Feminized)
1 Arjans Haze,(Feminized)
1 Black Sugar Rose, (Feminized)
1 Northern Light Blue,(feminized)
2 K.C 33 ,(feminized)
2 Train Wreck (Bag seed)
Wondering if it was ok to leave the setup as it is considering we are wasting 3 feet of the closet. We had planned on blocking it off after the first 3 feet but due to my arrangements this will not be possible. it is in a buddys house who will not allow any pictures until harvest, so I apologize and hope that everyone can picture this set up and help out. Also has anyone had experience with any of these strains? My friend ordered them from Attitude and i was actually there with him waiting for the mail haha. It was very exciting because the strains sound great. earth juice grow and earth juice bloom will be the nutes being used later on. Plan on vegging for about 4 to 6 weeks and then switching them over to 12/12. Oh ya the room is 8 feet tall so there is plenty of room vertically and the 19 plants are in 4 gallon pots all right next to each other. What would the best options be for highest yield? Sorry for all the questions Im trying to get all the finishing touches and plan complete now, The first week on the window sill they stretched about 3 inches each and now they are below the 1000 watt hps from a far distance, about 4 feet, and seem like they are going to fix the stretching problem. Using this 1000 watt hps from start to finish, as i have read many good things about doing this, even though it is against traditional methods.

any tips/advice or whatever it is please share your comments so I can learn and improve!

Get a strong fan to exhaust the heat and consider an inline fan to cool the lamp hood. You'll need the 3 feet for storage of water, nutes, fiskars, meters, etc, etc...

Just drop some mylar to cover extra space need all the light you can get for the space u have!!!!!!
 
The seedlings stretch to about 5 inches. So I lowered the light and came to find all my babies were fried. My friend said he might be able to save em but prolly not. I gave them to him and he's gunna veg them for 4 more weeks if possible and then he's gunna put em outside. He has like 50 acres +. With a lot of sunlight. For now I'm gunna let the experts go w the indoor thing and perhaps ill do something outdoor. But not sure if I even have time for that. We'll see! No losses really the hydro store said they'd take most equip back and my friends gunna hook me up if it turns out good and they live.. I looked online and I think these strains will work outdoors better anyways.
