Can nodes be too tight?!?!

[fruits of labor]

Searched a lil and most said it's fine as they will space out during the stretch but I'm still a lil concernced and think id like some opinions. I understand i can move the light away but do i really want to do that?..i currently am only using one 105 w cfl..5500 spec.18/6.on all 4 seedlings...they are between 1.5 to 2 inches in height and roughly 18 days old (which seems small). Do i really want to top a 3 inch plant? Should i wait a couple more weeks? Need to get the bush going so i can comence the cloning!!

Had an issue with hot soil..well perlite..during the first week of life...some seedlings didnt like the mg perlite..flushed and fixed immediately

nodes are like 8 to 10 mm apart...talk about tight

give um a chance they've only just sprouted, dont worry you'll get plenty of stretch with that light

#1: NO!!!!

#2: AW, HELL NO!

#3: Oh, don't worry! They'll increase when you flip, just fine!

I would worry more about the decaying leaves than spacing.

They look really small for 18 days old and hungry mate.

Yeah thats what i thought...only grew from seed twice some years ago and i remember them being taller and wider..before i started cloning them..but im getting no spacing between nodes this go round...so they are REALLY short..but everyone saying its ok...guess just ride it out and see what happens...btw i am feeding at about 1/4 strength...will up it next time...thanks!

Nope, nodes cannot be too tight. They will just create denser, fatter buds.
