I'm new to growing but I have had a couple of goes at it before with cfl's and the plants kept growing upwards instead of turning into a nice little bush so I thought I'd get a 600 watt hps and all would be fine.... but still my plants keep stretching up what do I do?

Well theres a difference between stretching and growing up, not bushing out. If you have a 600 watt hps they wont stretch much, just lower the light. If you start to notice bleaching raise it a couple inches. Make sure temp stays in a good range too. You can also wiggle it back and forth..theyre not really stretching that much though, a little much for my taste but like many others
