GrowCNanswered grow question 3 years ago If I want more distance between nodes I will walk the line with low light. I will run my lights at lower power to encourage some stretch but you don't want to go too far and hurt growth. In the end you can not fight genetics so you just work with the plant you have. A close node spacing isn't the end for LST though. I get busy with the training & tying during the stretch to get all the bud sites spread out as much as possible.
