Looks like you have three plants in the pot - be careful they will probably die as they grow older.
When you flip to 12/12 the plant will still grow 2-3 times bigger than it is now, I would suggest topping it and lowering the lights to within 1-3 inches of the top

HTG supply dot com has 24 inch strip T5 lights get two for the back corners run top to bottom for side light think the pair is like $50 and they run off one power cord you can link up a bunch of then not sure how many but you only need two and from what i hear the plant can touch then just have a flow blowing over the bulb. They also have a 150w DIY hps kit or light kit with remote ballast or even one witht he ballast built in but i would go remote so you could get the heat of the ballast out of the box then you just blow air on the bulb and it stays pretty cool but you need more light or to rethink your box. You could lay the box on its side prop the plant up to support it while leaving it just how it was and tie the top down by taping string a crossed the door and put your light/lights above the plant so it shines straight on the side that would be ill as fuck. Then you would end up with "2x times the nodes" in colas just LST the branches and help them all face up out of the box then LST/Spread them apart and flip 12/12

Yep light is the problem here as in not enough...having 3 plants in one is a nebie mistake but i also did that when i started....its all good just remember more light equal more bud sites which equals more nugs

you would be better of useing CFL then what your using get the 6500k for veg and the 2700K for flower but what your using is why you have such bad stretch. They make socket Y adapters so you can use more then one CFL per socket also outlet to socket adapters so you can use a simple wall outlet or surge protector thats what i use and zip ties are a micro growers best friend also they tidy up your grow space by getting wires and such up and out of the way. You would be off and running it you put a 150 hps in there like i said just make sure its remote meaning the ballast is not built into the reflector HTG supply sells the one i have and i love it and that truly all you need unless your going to grow trees use 6500k to veg em and the 150 hps to flower also use LST training to keep them short and bushy you need to spend some hours looking over other MICRO growers setups and stay away from the people who have full grow setups meaning if they have over a 400w their info wont suit your space unless your willing to spend hundred even thousands ive also only used CFL from start to finish and the end product was super smoke. 150w for that space and without the right ventilation you'll run into problems now think if you added a 400-1000w its going to be over 100 degrees in there unless you go cooltube and spend some money on the fans ducting etc. You could setup that space for under 300 going with the CFLS and 150w hps or you could spend over 1000 setting up a bigger light and fan setup but i dont think you have the knowledge yet and if i was you i would start small and cheapest i could. Build up to something bigger dont just go full out without the knowledge cuz you will run into problems and end up spending more on a big op then you would if you waited and gained more knowledge about setups tricks and over all how to manipulate the plants. Of course everyone will say go big or go home but it truly isn't the case most of those people are drug dealers not someone just looking to put smoke in their face or medicate themselves only with said crop. I wouldn't go under 23w for the CFL i use 26w cfls myself i like the output and intensity better.

A 250w hps is not expensive to run. You wont perfect it untill you get them under that hps. When you do the nodes will tighten ,stems will thicken and growth will be much faster.

Get a 400 watter your be a lot happier than a 250 and it's not much more money to run. I use lumatek you can use either light mh or hps.
This will solve your stretching problem will nicely~
