Hi, what exactly do you want to know? They have definitely grown that long because they aren't getting enough light. So I also prefer to grow mine in a tent with a 100-watt LED lamp and I adjust according to PPFD and DLI, which can be relatively easily measured with the Photone app on your phone. Here are some reference values: The optimal PPFD value during the germination phase is 100-250 µmol/m²/s, in the vegetative phase it's about 400-600 µmol/m²/s, and during the flowering phase, it's 600-900 µmol/m²/s. DLI: DLI measures the total amount of light a plant receives within 24 hours. For cannabis, the ideal DLI value is between 20-40 mol/m²/day, depending on the growth phase. You also need to consider the number of hours your lamp is on and what light spectrum it covers. The next step I would take if the light is set correctly, in case you're growing with a lamp, would be to either bury the plants a bit deeper in soil or support them with stakes. And here in Germany, they say you shouldn't put out vegetables and cannabis before the ice saints, which this year would be around May 14th. If you need more info, send me a private message.

either turn dim (brightness) up a bit or lower the light to counter that stretch when you up pot you can always burry some of the stem and it will grow feeder roots from it so its not as tall hope it helps good luck
