Hey everyone using t5 for veg trying to get longer internodal growth right now i guess light is no less then 7 in away for plant nodal growth are very close together cant really take cutting. I have tried move light like 3 feet away and didnt really change noting.
4x4 text with 2 4ft 4 blub t5
any suggestions ?
 
Maybe you have a pure indica plant. My Blue OG was like that but it did stretch a month later.
 
I find that moving the light further away wiil let most strains stretch a bit. But i also find that i get very tight nodal spacing with the t5's.

My thought exactly but these plants don't seem like they want to stretch at all. I have to t5 18 in away now and going to leave it there just topped one plant will see how it reacts.

How many plants? How old are plants? Might kill one light. Need more info.

Plants are about a month and a half old, about 5 plants in 20 liter airpots/ 7gal and cloner in tent.
I think one bad thing is I don't have a fan in the tent. That could be the problem. I have a 8" fan pretty much making a negative pressure but maybe I should get a fan. But I just don't think a fan can influence that much.
 
I think once you get a bigger root ball you will see more stretch. I would just use one light and keep them about a foot away for now. If you want a cut off them just cut bottom branches off. You will do it anyway.
