Athosanswered grow question 6 years ago That's relative. But they do look stretchy; the problem here it's the distance to the bulb, 20 inches is too far making the plant get only a small amount of light, thus the stretch trying to reach more light. You can either place the bulb closer, hoping not to cook the seedlings or veg with other light that does not give that much heat. Check my diary #2 High Level, I vegged with Screw in LED bulbs, they give almost no heat, and before flower the plants had 9 nodes in 6 inches.
