Unexpected Overcrowding Issues

This is our first grow and we chose the bathroom tub to house 5 clones, 1 of which is a runt, but still growing every day and is now slightly more than half the size of the rest.

The hood is a Sun Systems XXXL 6" and our flowering was delayed a few days to get the free 5th clone and they were about 20-22" when we went into flower last week. Most are Sativa dominant strains and I am worried that the light won't be able to reach all the leaves. Should I just raise the light higher? We have a 600W HPS bulb under our hood.

The clones are currently sharing a lot of space with many branches jetting out into each other or towering over another canopy. Should I sacrifice the runt in order to get max yeild?
