Stretching plants?

[Weelock]

Hi guys trying to figure out why these guys are stretching, I have a hlg550eco turned down to about 250 but the plants seem to be stretching, at least the one on the left front.
Should I drop the light? It’s at about 24 inches from the top of the plants.

Plants are about 3 and a half weeks old from seed now.

You guys have been so helpful Thanks.

Move the light closer if heat allows

What kind of temps are you running? Plants look like they might benefit from some humidity..

Running a humidifier, keeps the tent from 50-60% temps about 75-81

I will try that! Thanks! I was worried about burning them, it’s a large light for such small plants, and I burnt them with a hlg65 when they were smaller.

I'd run it a little higher while in veg if it were me.

Get one of those laser temp meters for like $20. It'll pay for itself just detecting air intrusion into your home, winter and summer. I'm addicted to mine.

I have one, I actually have two. I use it to measure soil and canopy temps
