Blueberry Grow...too short for 3 weeks veg? PICS

The Blueberry (Dutch Passion seeds feminized) that I have is so SHORT and bushy! I know its an Indica dominant strain, but I'm worried that I won't get as big of a yield if the plant is short. It's been 3 weeks since seedling sprouted.

I'm using a Sun Sytems ballast, and a 150 watt ECOPLUS full spectrum bulb in a cabinet (see pics). Ballast/bulb is about 3 inches away from the plant. Temp stays a constant 81 degrees; lights are on 24/7. Plan to veg for 5 more weeks, 8 total.

Should I raise the lights higher to stretch the plant? Any comments, suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

You will have better results with 18/6 lighting. Plants in general NEED that dark period. After a couple of days on this schedule you will actually find it helps accelerate your growth rather than slowing it. I would also cut back on your watering, as she looks a little droopy. Less is more.. 18/6 and she will stretch up and out giving you a much better profile.

no they dont.. 24 hour light is definately better for veg... they only need dark in flowering...

i say that plant looks nice.. you do not want to stretch it!! the bushier/denser the plant is that denser the buds are.. take a look at my plants at 3 weeks.. they look almost identical to that... then look at them now ( just started flowering less than a week ago.) theyre beautiful..


((u can compare your plants in MY GROW link in my signature))

Thanks for all the input. It's good to know that I'm doing something right. Yeah, I took the picture just after I watered, so might be a little droopy. I only water once every 6 days or though.

Thanks for all the input everyone!!! I'll keep you posted!
