Hey Peeps,
I have a cabinet grow going with 4 strawberry cough. I am using 4 T5 Sunblasters 23w 6500K mounted vertically in a 14" x 18" x 48" space.I also have 1 x 125W 6500K CFL mounted on the top. I've just finished day 21 and I find that my plants have really small internodes.My question is should I lower the plants to stretch them out a bit or leave them the way they are?

i would leave them the way they are they will double or triple in in size once you start to flower them.

Your plant are doing just fine. I use the sunblaster t5 aswell. This is the kind of growth you would expect from them. Nice tight node growth! This is a good thing.
Having close node growth befor flower is great becuse all th branches are that much closer to the light

Just leave them they are doing perfect!!

Yea bro that's exactly what you want, when it buds you will get nice phat compact buds. :leaf:

I am also using the T5 light. I had the same concerns. My plants were very short with extremely compact growth and really tight nodes. These T5 are great lights and give amazing veg growth. Like the others have said when it come time to flowering you will appreciate the T5.
