How do you control the flowering stretch?

One of the best ways to control stretch is to run clones off the same mother. Should be the same, all things equal.

I have noticed that when I used bud blood a week before flip and the week of flip it kept my sativa a little shorter. It was the same batch of seeds Cali-o BUT not the same plants(two separate grows one after the other). I also noticed that the stretch on my other varieties(afgooey and white widow blue balls and kish) all stopped stretching at the same time under the same 315cmh.

I just feed calcium nitrate and a micro-nutrient blend during veg. When I switch to 12/12 I add monopotassium phosphate but don't cut back on what I was feeding during veg.. I use fulvic acid throughout the grow and add some additional magnesium sulphate "epsom salts" around the end of week three through week five. Then I start lowering the strength of the nutrient solution so when I harvest I'm at around 1/4 strength. Any stretch I get is filled up with bud.

I dont experience unusual stretch with any variety here. I dont stop c02, I dont change temps temps, I dont use pk boosters, I dont change up nutrients,I dont add any extra anythings, I dont switch lights(mh/hps all the way through) ...

yet I dont get the stretch. must be more to it than the controls I mentioned?
