lanky plants.

hi there guys i have a problem with plants that im growing in side of a tall grow box, they grow to fast and stretch towards the light to much. they are growing with like 10" between the branches, just super tall and lanky. i want smaller and bushy. i grew the same seeds outdoors over the summer and they worked out fine. is there a trick i dont know? or is this a common problem? any information would be helpful. thanks guys.

whats your lighting consist of? temperature? has it been sexed? best guess is you lights inadequate. my first plant i used an incadecent bulb...same thing, but it was all i could get at 13yo.

DO YOU HAVE A FAN?

Fans are important, considering without one your plants will lump over. However it is most likely too late to do this, and if you want your plants to be short, trim it down, you can look up trimming techniques online.

fill out the troubleshooting form. initial thoughts are not enough light or too far from the plant. The fact it does fine outdoors and not indoors is pretty much the plant's statement it wants more light.
