Opposite of stretching - day 8 of 12/12

These are 3 plants that started from seed on July 23rd.
I flipped the switch on September 10th.
They are about 14-15 inches tall and about 20 inches across.
As you can see, the nodes are pretty tightly spaced and they look very "bushy". IMHO
They are under a 240w LED and 4 T5's as side lighting. Total watts approx. 400.
My first attempt at growing, all comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Looks good. Are you going to defoliate at all? What strain are you growing ?

Looking good. You'll get a bit of stretch, but, if they're indica and you have those lights close, I've experienced a lot of side growth and "bushing" right after light flip. And, then some stretch.

Please, keep this updated.

Northern Lights, AK47 and White Russian. I am only removing leaves that are damaged so far. First grow I want to keep from trying too many things.

I have allowed for a little stretching, just hope they can stay within the tent.
