yup i chopped them branches off lol funny thing tho the plants seem all stems. they were veged as clones for 13 days using a 400watt MH (6 inches from the tops) and i use a air cooled light with fan between the light and tops of the plants too so to avoid burn. within 13 days they went from 3 inches to 14 inches which i guess was ok but problem started when i changed bulbs to a 600watt HPS (again 6 inches from tops) for 12/12. they are now 17 days into flowering and they are all stem with nodes way too far appart. ive counted on many at least 10 inches between each node or more and i cant figure out whats causing them to stretch so much.
i am using the same strain as i did before and i get the same problem, lots of stalks with nodes too far appart. i actually counted a 3 inch stretch in 24 hours so i think something must be wrong.
