Holy Side Branching!

Has anyone ever seen this before? In your opinion, think it is worth flowering still? Every budsite immediately(quick!) turns into a side branch. This had made the plant extremely lanky. Since I am not using a scrog, I'm definitely going to have to use bamboo stakes and do some side branch trimming since they are shooting every which way into each other. Also, the plant is going to take up a lot of room while probably producing small nugs and I think nug quality will suffer since there is a lot of space between top buds and lower buds (horrible spacing). Strain is Blueberry Cupcake from Humboldt Seed Co

What do you think?

Lol well... Nope, not possible, maybe. Thinking about maybe closing it up or forcing it to have less of a spread using bamboo stakes. Whatever happens, probably not cloning it again. It grew the exact same way the first time as well.
 
I would tie a string around the entire plant. Bringing the branches together, lollipoping the lower growth and flip as soon as possible. The plant will stretch a lot in flowering so be ready to manage height. But I wouldn't be surprised if it actually filled the empty space once in flowering. You can always do some super cropping. Very carefully. Just to reduce the height of the talles branches and redistribute growth hormones to the lower sites
 
There are 2x 300w in that tent, maybe 20-24 inches away. The plant was under a 350w at the same distance while growing. The problem is, the first plant (this is a clone) was under a 750w (dimmed, 500-600 ppfd) and did the same thing. I'm guessing it's a cultivar specific trait, one that I rather not keep around, due to growing inside tents, unless it shows me something amazing in flower lol

Going to take 9fingerleafs suggestion, and see how it goes.
