First time grow - seeds from stash of dank weed seeds UPDATE 9/02 -- RIP

*This thread was originally opened for a question, but since the thread already had all of my progress so far, im converting the thread to a grow log*.
Hey guys. so i have a cup i planted 4 seeds in... to be honest i didnt think all 4 of them would germinate, but they did. so now i have 4 seedlings in one 16 or 24oz styrofoam cup.
First question.. How would i go about separating all 4 of them into their own pots without harming them or the root system?
Second question. Ive noticed my 2 taller seedlings have 4 leaves, 2 normal 2 searated. my 2 smaller seedlings have only 2 leaves, no searated leaves. The taller ones had 4 leaves upon uncurling from the soil break i believe and grew like that. the 2 smaller seedlings have stayed the way they are since soil break. Is this normal, or am i doing something wrong?

Here is a pic of one of my seedlings that obviously has genetic problems. The cotyledon's are getting big but there is nothing visible growing from the center.
 
And this one started out retarded with stunted deformed first single blades but seems to be thriving ok now.

UPDATE: landlords hit me with 3 water bills i hadnt paid, light money had to go to that. what i have done for now is i have transplanted all 5 of them (another one sprung up since the last pic) into their own containers. I actually managed to do it without shocking them. they are in namely huge cans of government issued food. they each hold about a gallon so i should be good for a while i believe. I have five 75w incandescents aimed right at them about 2 inches or so above the plants and during the daytime i let them soak up some sunlight in the bedroom for 7 hours or so. soon i will have my lights. This is not even a week after they popped out of the soil.

There they all are in where they started. They look a little stretched i know.

There is a group shot of all 5 of them 

Closeup of one of the 2 biggest ones

Closeup of the other of the 2 biggest ones.
For as shotty of a start as they have had, i dont think they look too bad for their age and care.

progress update: 7-11-09
So far so good. still have a fruit fly problem but i have found ways to overcome the problems. The plants are doing very good. the 2 in the back are getting HUGE. Each leaf alone is the size of my hand. Here are some pics mind you, they used to look a lot fuller. i topped the 3 larger ones yesterday taking probably half an inch of stem and 2 or 3 leaves with it.




Also, the room is starting to smell really really dank

UPDATE: 7/13

I dont know if this is normal, but on one of the plants i topped, every node seems to be growing an alternate shoot and some of the shoots have already produced another node and are working on another. High res closeup attatched. I might add, that these were seeds from a stash of a bunch of different good strains. i really wish i knew which strain they were. lol.

Alright, time for an update. they have seemed to have recovered from the topping a few days ago. the new shoots are now 2 nodes long, 3 in some cases <3 anyway, theyre getting pretty big and smelly now 
The bigger 3 plants *back, far left, far right* vary from 1.5 feet to 2 feet tall already o_o;; from the looks of it, the bushy one in the far back is a sativa, the 2 other big ones on the sides are indicas. They have not shown gender yet, but i hope theyre all girls. c'mon send good vibes and maybe lady cannabis will bestow the garden of weeden with pistils!

UPDATE: 7/22/09
Update. no sex yet and no more alternating nodes. probably due to the fact i topped every shoot that was developing nodes recently. they are filling out quite nicely and are smelling really strong like super paranoia levels of strong sometimes. (edit: how much smell does it take to seep through walls to the next apartment over? o_O )
The nitrogen lockout/burn in one of my plants has been fixed by transplanting into non-miracle grow nute-less soil with some MG soil mixed in for nutes. im thinking of doing the same for my other plants, including the 2 big ones. the one that had been transplanted is the big one on the left in the wide red plastic container. It used to be the scrawny one of the bunch but now it outshines the others 
Also, the last image shows a full view of my ghetto lighting setup. seems to be working well i have beefed up the lights to about 6000 lumens. think thats enough for what im working with? ill be adding more and more through the course of flowering when i get to it.
One question. a lot of the leaves have some baking soda powders on them from when i was sprinkling it around. is that going to hurt the leaves?
(hint. click on image inside the linked page the thumbnail takes you to for full resolution photo, rather than preview)
