It is a big shock for plants to re locate like that at this age. I dont advise bringing outdoor plants in under artificial light.
One of the main reasons for the stress is the light period has gone from about 5 hours of hot sunlight and 9 hours of shaded light to 20-24 hours of straight light(shock) without the same aeration as outdoor.

Thanks for the info I don't know where else to put them any ideas I would put the out side but I moved into a town home and it's a community yard

Just raise the light for a few days.
This is one of the few times that I would reccomend using a b vitamin like superthrive.

It's on the top it's a box fan on the low setting
Thanks for the info how high should I move it up

No problem.
10-12 inches. I'm only guessing. Move it up and if it starts to stretch move it back down.
It may look rough for a few days no matter what.
Also when growing under led they tend to get cal/mag deficiencies. Might need to give it a dose of cal mag.
Right on man will do

super thrive is a beautiful thing...totally worth payin an arm and a leg for...just don't over use it
ya know...if it had been me I might have leveled the plants by half and then brought them inside.
the new growth will be better acclimated to the lower light ur using and wont show so much stress as what ur experiencing now. its a waste of time and energy but it would have been a cool experiment.
just ride it out then and watch for bugs that hitch hiked their way into ur tent.

I concur. Cutting back growth wouldn't hurt a bit. The root mass is already there. They grow back fast.
I bought a small bottle of super thrive at Walmart for $11 a few years ago. I still have it.
You only need a few drops per gallon of water.
You can crush a b complex vitamin in water and use it to. You can get a whole bottle at the dollar general for $2.
Nice thanks for the info
