    It's when a novice grower uses a light with an insufficient spectrum, or has the grow light to far away from the top of the cannabis plant, which causes the plant to grow very wide internodes, thus causing the plant to stretch towards the grow light, creating a weak and unhealthy stem. All cannabis growers aim to grow plants with very tight internodes (the space between the leaves on the stem or branches) because they hold more bud mass with much less growing room. To avoid streching, keep the light as close to the top of the cannabis plant without the plant burning.
