Need more stretch!

I have a 450w viparspectra LED in a 1’x3’ space that is holding two plants that I am trying to make my mothers.

The LED is about 30” away from the tops but the nodes are so tight that I really don’t have any good spacing for cloning the mothers.

I did just recently raise the LED to that height, but the stretch seems minimal for the white widow and afghani #1 plants.

Any way to induce a little more stretch to get more clonable branching?

Hello Friends, I have a quick question.
I am having a major problem with stretching use a small florucent grow bulb that came with seedling dome.

is a 450W full spectrum LED like the one in the picture good for seedlings? If so should i turn the BLUE/RED/WHITE spectrums all the way up? If these LEDs are good, how close should they be to plants? Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks!

Introduce more far red or shut off the blue,widen your day/night temp swing & don't let P def creep on you.

I was going to say exactly that but didn't want to start any trouble.

I’ll shut off the blues. My temp swing is roughly 10deg. difference at the moment.

Thanks!
