if i babysit the seedlings everday for a month raising the light where its alwayes 1 inch above top shoot and leaves . and its only 7 inches tall ,but stacked i mean the lower banches are 3 inches long now. i was thinking about maybe raising it up a foot or so to let them stretch ? they are 4 weeks old. they have 9 sets of fan leaves. prolly 11 if i count the tip top lil ones..

Ya want to make the plant grow those branches out. Always the more branches the better. Look into lsting/bending the tip down so the side branches grow.

how do i make teh pic just pop up here? anyway that is teh least amount of undergrowth out of the plants. they are in a tub with a small pump that pushes the water through a pvc pipe with holes drilled in it . its called the carwash. it makes lots of roots . the pump is on the timer 30 min on . 1.5 hours off. they are 4.5 weeks from planting seed, the pic is prolly 3 weeks or so.. they sure are squatty i hope this isnt a autoflower, as they are on 24/7 now

thats already stretched enough to be honest i thought they were gonna be super short with no spacing between the nodes. why would you want to stretch them more? my nodes are like literally right ontop of each other
