The better the lighting, the shorter the internodes. Some go cheap on veg lighting which I see as false economy. To use an extreme example, a plant vegged with strip lights is going to have the internodes far apart. I've seen internodes more than 8" apart. It wouldn't matter what light you flowered that plant with, you won't be getting fat colas. Whatever light they will be flowered under, that's what I start them with.
