Well if it is autoflowering then 18/6 light is fine, and light leaks are no issue really. Did you change the nutes? you should switch to a bloom nute to help promote flowering. also where did you get the seeds from? nirvana had some problems with their breeder, the strains had too much of the non autoflowering strain and the autoflowering characteristic was bred out in a few batches(not all). So check with the distributor about them.
About the height. what lights are you using? if you are using too little light, any plant will stretch. the heights they advertise are dependent on proper lighting.
as an immediate fix you can crush the main stem. just pinch it so it is flattened, the plant will distribute some of its energy into repairing that instead of promoting upward growth. you could also top the plant, as well you could gently bend the top and tie it down with string(see lsting threads).

i have 3 cfl's they are 200 watts each....
as for the pinching thing.. i really dont know how to do that, this is only my second attempt at growing. and the nuits... i had been giving them the grow ones.. and the last time i gave it to them.. i did a little to much and i burnt the ends of the leaves...so that might have set me back also. i can give them the flowering ones..but im a little gun shy. So ill hold off on them for about 2 weeks i think . also another problem i have is.. i have a small grow area.. so i have a couple plants in that area.. and some that are not auto flowers.. and they are small yet.. i dont have any place to put them.. and if i put these on the 12/12 im afraid they will go into flower as well. grrrrr delema!
i should have chosen a sure fire tried and tested auto flower strain.
( on of the little plants is a auto flower bubbalicious strain.) and a regular Afgan.
