Also....the ones that are not growing well, should i just pull them and give the others that are doing okay the space? Or will it make a difference at this point?


Thanks
Just let them grow out of the ground.
I wouldn't do anything with the runts but eat them as you need them.
4 inches is a little close but ok for big onions.
Here is a field of onions growing out of the ground and their spacing.

Even with the whole bulb out of the ground the roots will hold them up.

I haven't perfected any of this yet.
