Maybe a tad, but your apical meristem is thick and strong. Could just be genetics of the plant too. Intensity of light will impact internodal distance. If you see any wilting or pale spots on top leaves, that is too intense and you cannot do much more to reduce internodal space, i.e. gentics. So, if you do adjust, do it a couple inches at a time and observe the reaction over a few days - unless incredibly obvious right away. Slow adjustments.. trial and error.. every different seed you ever grow :) Although with lights, it'll be fairly consistent. A PAR meter is expensive.. but, a $10 light meter (lux) can tell you in a proportional manner the intensity of light you are providing -- while under the same light. The lux measurement you use for "vege" or "clones" may not be the same with a different light -- this is the drawback of a cheap lux meter. It will not tell you PAR and there's no easy way to convert it to PAR without a spectral analysis and an equation i do not know but do know of its existence, lol.

Yes you can lower the lighting to stop from stretching as much but that to me looks perfect in the pics. Have nice side branches developing. Short and stubby plants don't produce any yeild

They look alright. If you want to experiment, you can lower your light, If you start seeing new growth yellowing, or the serrations on the leaves curling up, you know that they are getting too much light. Playing around with your light height will give you an idea on how much light your plants can take. Happy growing!
