Isn't it unusual for a plant to stretch like this under just moderate lighting?

My first grow. This is an indoor plant grown with just 10 26W Cfl's. It was flowered at just under 12" and is now 4' tall. Is that normaly what happens if you don't top it when it's young?

Thanks everyone! I definitely will top it next time and LST the hell out of it. It's going to produce alot of bud, but we'll see if it's airy bud or not.

thats just part of the flowering process imho, plant doubles or triples in height
