Not enough light for a desk lamp cfl.
Look into a inexpensive t5 light help with the stretch. Place as close as you can without causing any heat stress. Place a fan on them to move the stems, which will help with the stop the stretch and harden the plant from seedling to vegetative stage.
Top as the second set of nodes allow you to. This will take you from 1 top to 4 tops. Keep topping as new growth happens. Look up a technique called main lining.

maybe phenotype or just a lack of sun and/or nutrients.

Cold temps or genetic?

Good luck with that. Australian postal system is notoriously good at finding seeds. Probably the best in the world. Best luck would probably be Attitude Seedbank out of the UK. You might even have some half ass guarantee available if they don't arrive.

vacuum sealed in a freezer.
or
vacuum sealed in a dormant refrigerator in a basement room where the temp is less than 18 degrees celcius everyday?
