Colas keep stretching on my NL-BB plants

Hello,

I have 3 scrogged Northern Lights/Big Bud plants that have been in flowering mode since early october. Notice that the buds away from the light to the left are developing normally but the colas to the right have continued to stretch and are very thin at the top. They are filling in from the bottom up but it is very slow and they are putting out a large amount of single leaves.

Is this how NL/BB grows or am I doing something wrong that makes them stretch?

The light is an outside-air cooled Lumatek 600w and the room goes from 66 degrees at night to low 80s during the day. No overheating. I am using hydro with technaflora nutes.

Thanks for any feedback you have for me!

I guess this is just how they grow. They dont call it "big bud" for nothing. I'll just wait and hope they fill out. if they do, I am going to have one hell of a harvest!

Its hard to say but it might be stretching, called foxtalling from a result of to much heat. Or, it didn't get enough nutrients at some point of time in the grow. I have had a few grows like this and it was result of to much heat. Bump up the nutes before its to late.

I grew the NL x BB and liked it enough to take a couple clones. Your plants look like they have been flowering
more than 3 weeks. Are you sure of your dates? Your picture is kinda fuzzy, but the colas look 6 weeks old to me.
