Looks like maybe ur lights are far away?? During veg?? The MK likes to stretch and lank out in my experience so u really want as tight nodes as u can get during veg. Lowering the light will help this.

The op looks good man ur taking to growing very well. As far as temps, IMO u can even get up in the low 90s and they still LOVE it, so I would worry more about getting the light down there closer to the ladies. Youll be able to tell if its too close, and figuring out how the light plays in ur flower cab and how best to take advantage of it is one of the most important things Im finding.

HTH
Thank you for the great advice about the temp, gonejah. And, I also agree with the stretching too. During veg, I should've had the 250-watt MH alot closer to the plants. (Like 10-12" away) Now it seems like I'm growing some sativa strain, rather than a bushy indica (which was my intension all along). Anyway, I'm not going to raise the bulb anymore at 12/12. I think at this point, anything getting too close to the bulb, I'll just supercrop bend, or, cut right off. I still got lots to learn... This op is all tuition... the bud is just a bonus!
