Thank you I know she's short because I had my light 2 close at the beginning and she didn't have to reach I just feel like she's short and bushy
No! Your light was not "too close". The fact that she's short and bushy indicates that you gave her a good amount of light.
Light is how a plant makes food — your plant received enough light so that it didn't have to "reach for the light". Instead it's got a lot of (smaller) leaves and branches.
After three years of traipsing around three cannabis sites, my view is that many (most) growers don't give their plants near enough light and then end up with tall, slender plants, with large leaves, large "internodal space", and limited yield.
Cannabis
is a light whore loves light. The plant in the picture I've attached is 6 weeks old and has been grown under a dedicated veg light and has been given, pretty much, as much light as it can tolerate (the "light saturation point"). A veg light has a lot of blue photons to keep the plant short and, since it was given the "max" amount of light it can tolerate, there's a huge amount of foliage.
Once the plant is flipped to flower, it will fill most of the tent (that's why I grow only one plant at a time).
A look into the foliage. The metal "ring" is how I do LST - I hang lead fishing weights from shower curtain hooks to bend the branches down. Most of the branches in these photos have 2 2 ounce weights on the branches.
This grow is from a year ago.
