You need better lighting. You can’t flower cannabis with T5 lighting. It will cause plants to stretch out looking for more light, resulting in spindly plants.

Suggest an LED built with Samsung LM301 diodes. HLG, Mars Hydro, and Spider Farmer all make good lights.

Pictures would help I would go to 20/4 or 18/6 now spindly or weak stems are usually caused by lack of light or insufficient light

Also, you need more than 8 hours of light… in fact, some people leave their lights on seedlings for 24 hours until they are a little more established but I do 18/6 as soon as they break ground.
