Ok im using 600 watts of LED and im flowering clones that were vegged for 5 days. My plants dont stretch for shit like probably only grew an inch. Thier like 3 weeks into flower and are not growing at all but they have lots of bud sites mabe too many but is this normal? Im growing all OG kush and sour OG which is sappose to be a stretcher

Do LED's provide enough Red/Orange spectrum? I'm not really up on it and info/opinions are strong and vary. I always thought it was the reddish light that triggered the plant to stretch in preperation for flowering.

Its red and blue, mostly red though and i keep leds 12 inches above plant, wat i find very wierd is if i put a seedling in the far side of the tent that dosent get much light it stretches like crazy but under the light they almost never stretch

i would say what this means is that your plants are getting a lot of light and dont feel the need to stretch. personally, i keep my lights close enough that when my plants went into 12/12 they were only about 6-8" tall, from seed. they hardly ever stretched due to good light, and when i went into flower i decided that they would need a bit more height if i wanted them to yield well. moving the light away (went from 3-4" to 6-8" distance) and i got a good 2-3 inches over the next few days.

when you say putting the plant on the far side of the tent makes them stretch faster, it furthers my opinion. move your light a bit farther away, and you will promote their stretching. get them close to where you want them, then move that sucker right back!
