yeah man it looks like ur plants have stretched from what ive seen the problem is most ppl buy a flou fixture and put all red or blue lights u need one of each bulb natural sunshine and a eco bulb or plant one too much red will cause stretching those things kinda look like one heavy bud on it and there gonna topple over and snap u must have not used cool white in the early stages??? from reading on here ive seen that blue spectrum will allow bushing out and less stretching if used for veg???? i had a couple 3000k's reddish ones on my plant before and it seemed to grow real fast but the stem got real long over time like yours and there wasa big space between the bottom 2 leaves and the rest of the foliage eventually the thing looked like a fishing pole with a huge lure on it top heavy bending then toppled over. even though the stem had grown bigger and thicker somewhat it mostly got taller and twinky so this time ive learned not to start off with as much red if ur using a basic bulb cuz the ultra voilet isfactor comes in and you get red ultra violet somewhat with some bulbs im using a single tub fixture for now cuz my double burnt out so now i have to switch bulbs i give it 5 days of ns and 2 days of the redder one seems to be working out even though it is a pain i have a bigger 6 foot fixture all set up but only thing is the juice it uses is more and im only doing one plant
