although I've never personally ran the cmh, I have heard they have the best spectrum on the market! out of any and everything! well maybe not best, but closest thing to the sun as you can get, and far more uv, than anything else on the market! don't take my word for that, it's just what I've heard around some of the threads! I'm sure someone else could chime in with better info on that!@Greenthumbs256 - Thanks for the advice. There are a lot of new things in play on this grow for me with this; CMH light which they are currently under, 12/12 photoperiod right out of the gate, unknown genetics, and running a 16oz party cup for the entire grow. I do have the seedlings positioned about 12" off the table and 36" below a 315w CMH. The stretch all happened in a 48hr period. Anyway, I think the stretch is done because they're adding leafs instead of stretching.
also I totally get the running new things, I'm also in the same boat! I've never done a 12/12 solo cup comp, or any kind of comp! but I can promise you for a fact beyond a doubt the stretch is 100% solely bc of the light height, like I explained! but I get not wanting to fry them, bc of the light you have never used before!
I'm in a similar boat, bc I've never had a seedling under a 1k hps! so trust me I'm right there with ya man! but like i said, I'd bet ya my first born child that the stretch is 100% bc of the light distance!
