Hi tnvr,

Welcome to TPT!

Typically the distance between nodes (where the leaves emerge from the stems) increases when light levels are too low. Increasing the photoperiod may help but I find it seems to be more related to light intensity.

Thanks seattle .......ill try to increase the intensity ......hope it works ....

Yeah, plants "stretch" toward the light if it's not strong enough, resulting in longer internodes (section between nodes - leaves), rather than compact growth. You will notice shorter internode sections that are closer to the top since it is obtaining more light.

Red spectrum of light also plays a factor in internode spacing. More red spectrum light will have plants with shorter internodes.

thanks for the info waterlife....
