Normal Sativa Stretch???

Is this normal for a sativa to be so dang tall at 6 weeks old? Almost two feet tall! I topped them 7 days ago and they're still going upward, with long node spacing and HUGE leaves. ILGM Tropicana Cookies, 90% sativa. I've only grown pure indica strains in the past. I'm used to short and bushy.

I started them from seed in my cabinet March 19th and moved them outside last week with supplemental lighting until late May. Could it be too early in the season?

Should I start over with seeds germinated outside?

That's not tall and far away from being a sativa. Hybrid about 50/50.

Correction! The ILGM Tropicana Cookies is 70% sativa - 30% indica. I have three grows under my belt and I've NEVER seen
fan leaves this big. This plant is less than 6 weeks old. I'm gonna need a flashing red light on top to keep airplanes from hitting it.

I don’t usually top my plants so that stretch looks very normal to me regardless of indica/sativa.

Tropicanna cookies is definitely not 90% sativa. Is that what ilgm says? lol

Also, none of those other strains are pure indicas either.

I have no idea how these guys know it's not sativa, cuz I sure don't. I have a sativa sprout that's
6 weeks old and it's less than a foot tall, but it's a seed test plant, and is going into the trash soon.
For light it's only getting window sill during day, and an end table lamp at night. It's got a nice,
faint odor, too. I know it's sativa, cuz the father plant was like 8 feet tall, and the buds the neighbor
gave me were no-high, pretty much. Not that that's an indication of it's pheno, but i'd bet it is sativa.
