kinda sounds normal to me..what kind of lights are u using and how far away?

[Exodus_herbman]

plants become taller as a means to reach for light. If there is insufficient lighting or too far away then the plants will stretch. It would be helpful to know what lights you are using, so that I or someone else may be able to tell you a safe distance it should be from the plant.

Hey,
Attached a couple of images. First one is the tallest, and second is the smallest. Im using jst a normal lamp, not uv i dont think which could be the problem, but im gettin a uv light on saturday. How far away should it be as well?
Thanks

its a philips classic tone 40W bulb btw. If any1 could suggest how far away the light should be that would be great.

You can start off with a 20W cfl for the first week, but you'll need to upgrade gradually during the first month to at least 150W of cfl or fluors.
