Plants stretching during flowering

[tomcromp]

My plants have been in flowering for 2weeks and 5days they are strechinging quite a bit. They are under a 250w red spectrume eco-light. The plants that are stretching are the g13s anyone know when they will stop stretching?

Cheers
Tom

Mine did that, too for about 3-4 weeks, but it turned out to be a good thing. ;-)

How close to th light are you keeping them. Keep them as close as possible without burning them. let us know how you like this eco light. This is the first I've seen or heard of them. They look like a heavy duty floro from the pic I saw.

Some days they strech so much that sart off 2inches away at the end of the 12 hours they are touching the light! the ecolight doesent get hot so you dont really have heat problems / burning!

Try relocating the light or plant and adding other lights to balance out ur room. I had to do this with my first grow. Didnt know what i was supposed to do. WARNING if you dont have a light mover this will cause the plants to grow lopsided or unevenly

They should stretch a little going into bud that is somewhat normal>
How far away from the top is your light?

Pics would really help this post
