This early in the game you should be fine with what you have, but those lights wont do you much good once your plants start to really come into their own and shoot up/out. If I was you, I would cluster the lights together in a smaller space to start out with, this way each plant is getting all the light from their own individual bulb plus whatever is coming off the other 2. A good way to get good light coverage/penetration, low energy costs, and lower risk of burning your plants is using CFL bulbs for the early veg, the daylight style bulbs can pack a punch, plus they provide blue light which is what your plants are craving.

Those pots are massive, in my opinion you should keep the containers small for as long as possible, too much room early on can cause slow growth. Is that tin foil on the wall? Tin foil can end up doing more harm than good, since it wrinkles so easy, it can create hot spots to burn your plant by reflecting light over and over again, I invest in panda poly film as a reflector, or just paint the walls of your grow area with flat white latex paint. Do you have a fan on them? A slight breeze to rustle the plant exercises the stem so it can hold bigger buds.

Sorry if I sound like some know-it-all dick right now. If I'm coming off as rude, its not my goal. I think your plants look beautiful for 2 weeks old. My plants are a little younger than that, I'll put pictures up asap. Happy Growing!
