    Due to not enough light normally. Are they inside or out?

    they are strecthing mate, get what light you do have closer to em , if its an hps then obv not too close cos your BBQ em.
    and a small fan blowing on them will encourage the plant to thicken the stems

    a young seedling is to light, like a thirsty man is to water......it will strain itself to reach the light, hence the streching......like the furry tounge on a thirsty man in desert at an oasis !!!!! pmsl!!!

    tooo much watering can cause this too!

    naturlly cannabis is one of the fastest grower in the plant world in the right condions in terms of hight, i hav always found a retricted rool ball so smaller pots will make them smaller too!

    my firt grow was a single plant in my folks back garden .... small is pot and not very deep and i get a perfect 3ft girl! however my second in a massive pot and left out in the rain for 2 weeks in the summer whilst folks and i wer visiting mickey mouse and i come back to an 8ft giant!!!....this was on top of a basic wick auto water i had set up!! sadly it was a boy but still MOOOOOOSIVE plant!... i used the stem to mate scales and a pipe!
