I could help you better if I saw a picture of your grow setup. But I grew with CFL's and I know most Kush plants don't stretch. So your lights are probably to far away, Put them 3 or 4 inches (yes inches) on top and on the sides of the plant. Also how many lights are you using and what wattage? If the lights are to far and the their aren't many of them the plant will stretch.

I mean could just be the phenotype man if you have them that close and less than 3 inches away from the plant. Only thing you can really do is LST and top it to keep the height down if its an issue.

Any kush strain I've ever grown stretches like crazy in the first cpl wks of 12/12. Be mindful of this before you let it go too long in veg. Dont wanna run into headroom issues in flower since you wont have the option to top anything then.

Considering the lighting you are using, I wouldnt imagine tall plants will suit your grow very well. CFL's arent good for penetrating light so smaller plants are best since not much light will make it to the bottom portion of a taller, bushier plant.

CFL's are great, I've done a few Rubbermaid grows myself with CFL's. But any real grower will tell you, If your going to grow make sure you get the proper equipment to make it worth your while. I know everyone situation is different. Whats great about CFL growing is the learning process that comes with it. You really get to see how your plants react to enough light vs not enough light ect ect. Am i rambling too much? It's the good stuff kicking in.
