What media are you growing in?
Some strains stretch more than others
22c is fine
After reading your post again I wonder if you just didnโt veg them long enough?
If your trying to fill a net you need to train them a bit and fill the net before flipping
They vegged for 2 months. They havnt really stretched much from the beginning. Only flipped so they could be done before Christmas. Wouldn't even say they've doubled in size yet.
Just a thought but have you grown with those lights before and have something to compare to?
Itโs like the lights are underpowered and need turning up, like when you grow a mother plant you give them barely enough light to keep them growing slow but not too much light to encourage them to go mad and take over the tent.
That would explain the slow growth, Iโd turn the lights up if it was me, 150w each light just sounds a bit low at this stage

Drugs and Alcohol are never the answer! Unless the question was โwhat am I doing tonightโ.

Re: Stretching during flower
Iโve had two led panels from years back, one was a Mars hydro and the other the name escapes me at the moment but itโs in the loft, all the hype about how they are more efficient and better than hps, I found I got reduced yields and calmag issues, plants did grow stockier and less prone to stretch mind you so perhaps thatโs what your seeing here too

Re: Stretching during flower
Red light will help with assisting stretch so maybe adding inv sun's red supplemental light?
https://www.organacanna.co.uk/blog/auxins-what-are-they
Auxins is what you need along with other phytohormones will help to get more stretch along with other acids which help in it's availability to the plant.
Maybe @GHO could assist you more too mate.

Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.โ

Re: Stretching during flower
There in a 3x3. I turned the lights down originally because they seemed to be tainting the leafs. Maybe I should just turn them up see how they get on
