Internodes Spacing

Which has more of an impact on node spacing, genetics(ie. Indica vs. sativa) or light type(ie. MH vs. HPS)???

Basically im just wondering if my HPS light is going to make my K2(indica) stretch???

Also, I was wondering if topping or fimming have an impact on node spacing??? Or do they just bush out the plant?
I know that it makes them grow multiple tops but I have no idea about its effect on node spacing.

Thanks in advance for any responses.
Preferably someone with experience of growing an indica strain with an HPS light.

One of the main reason a plants stretches (besides just growing) is that it is seeking more light, and can easily be caused by positioning the light too far from the plant. Always keep the plant and the light as close to possible as long as the plant can stand the heat. Obviously you would have to keep a 1000W light farther away than you would a 250W light. If it still stretches, then its time to tie the top down, and new tops will develop making the plant bushier. You could also top (cut) the plant, and the plant will bush out.
