    HELP! Bud sites too close together?

    Hello, I have a blueberry in week 11, and has been flowering for about half that time. The bud sites on each branch are super close together, much more than other plants I’ve grown. I have grown this strain once before and had somewhat similar growth patterns, but my current grow is my first growing in a tent with artificial light (my other blueberry was a sunroom grow with natural light). It is in a 3x3x6 tent and under a viparspectra VP600. I use ocean forest and have been using some gen hydroponics flora micro and bloom since i started flowering. I topped once and have been using lst after topping. The pics mainly show the two highest nodes from where I topped it, but the lower nodes also have bud sites very close together.

    Is this normal? Will bud sites this close together encourage buds to not grow as densely?

    Also, sorry if I need to provide more info; I am new to tent grows like this. Let me know if o should provide better pics or more info, please, and thank you for the help.

    Personally I prefer my bud sites close together and seems to make my buds denser and will be a bigger cola instead of a smaller bud. Good job, looking great

      Your bud sites are just fine. But you might want to pull your plants out into normal light and have a good look at them. Looks like you are having some phosphorus deficiency.
      There are 3 things you must check everyday when growing in hydro:
      1) Water level (How much h2o is she drinking in 24hrs)
      2) pH level (change over 24hrs)
      3) ppm/EC level (How much food is she eating in 24hrs)

        You can pick some branches and bend and tie them down. Select a main branch with lots of bud sites and bend it out a bit and tie it down. Do that to as many as you want. I recently did that to what I thought was a too dense auto. Plant seemed to like it.

            Thank you everyone for the responses and advice. I’ve posted on this forum a number of times, and I’ve never had anyone say my plant looks good actually, so that is awesome.

            As for the Phosphorus deficiency, yes, I believe you are correct. That is why I have started to use the gen hydroponics micro and bloom, and I think it has helped because it used to be more purpleish around the stems and such. I’ve also been bending and tucking as much as I can in order to get more flowers in a good position for light and growth.

            thank you again, and please let me know if there is any other advice to improve my grow.

              She’s looking great. A Normal complaint would be the plant stretching too much! I had a blueberry that grew in the same way. Buds started an inch from the soil.
