Hi first time using led lights always used hps in the past but noticed the buds being produced by l e d look far superior to hps .... only problem I’m coming against is I’m not really getting the same kind of stretch with an led compared to the hps ? the height just isn’t there ? the nodes are stacking nice just not much distance between them ... Anyone got any ideas or useful ways to combat this ?

Hps is no comparison to leds, stretch from ir in hps not good for girls.canopy will double first three weeks of 12-12
I’m hoping this I’m going to have to fill the canopy somewhat tho .... today was a good day the first of the four regs I have has shown sex and she is a girl so I’m thinking now to take some cuttings off her and maybe use them to make the space less of a space to fill with a few extras in there .... just hope the sour banana sherbet is a good yielder

Why not use both and get the best of both worlds, Hps to fill and stretch it then onto led?
Personally I've absolutely no love for super compact growth outside my clone tent, I actually want some stretch!
