Very stretched dutch passion blueberry

I planted some different strains from seed and all of them for the most part look ok but I have this Dutch Passion blueberry that looks very stretched. Right now they're 4 weeks into 12/12 from the first pic. It's supposed to be 80% indica but it's stretching like a Sativa and I've never seen one stretch so bad. I'm wondering if I should pull it out of the room or if the buds have a possibility of filling out. It was planted from seed and preflowers were not quite showing yet when I moved them to the flower room so flowering was slightly delayed on a few plants. I know the typical stretching problem is due to poor lighting but it's getting a ton of light. I supercropped all the tops or else the blueberry would be 6+ft and I only flowered it at 18". The first pic is before flowering and they were all looking pretty indica.

It's a 100% sealed room with no venting (geothermally cooled ground source heat pump)
Co2 is 1200-1500ppm
Temps are a very constant 86*F lights on and drops to 82*F usually at night. Humidity is 45-55%
Fox farm tiger bloom and grow big at recommended dosage

The stretched buds you're seeing is just on the one plant because it's supercropped and the tops are laying on top of the other plants.

Mine bolted too.. Leaves on mine lokk very sativa.

Did your buds stretch? Mine almost looks 100% sativa so I'm not sure what happened. Think I can expect the buds to fill out?

This is a classic Sativa Dom flower in early development and culling them would not be wise until your sick of them hanging around lol ..

I think they will fill in nice as the nodes are not to far apart for a sat , it might even surprise you in the end .. I have seen ladies like that turn into baseball bat colas with a head soaring high ...

Enjoy the ride , here is a something to read and its a good measure for the most part as long as you understand the variables at play ...

The 40/60 Phenomena are events observed during the indoor cultivation of flowering cannabis, and when using a strict 12 hour inductive photoperiod (aka 12/12). The events start with the first day of the inductive stage (12/12), and end on the day a mature crop is ready for harvest, collectively this period of time is called the Days Spent Flowering.
Stretch Phase (early flowering)

The stretch phase is a period of time during early flowering where rapid extraordinary outward growth takes place. Some growers have reported seeing 5 inches of growth in a single day during the stretch. This phase is characterized first by the extraordinary growth accompanied by longer than usual internodes, then the explosive outward growth slowly tapers off as internodes shorten. The end of the phase is signaled when growth tapers down to approximately 1/2 inch or less per day. This coincides with a time span equaling 40% of the total Days Spent Flowering. At this point growth shifts from outward to building bulk on existing growth, otherwise known as late flowering or the fattening phase.
Fatten Phase (late flowering)

The last 60% of the inductive phase is a period where outward growth is less significant. In fact, it can appear as if growth has stopped completely due to the very short internodes. During this phase a more complex set of growth activities occur. It's not much different from an apple tree that stopped producing new apples and is now devoting its remaining time to maturing or ripening the apples it already has. With female cannabis, flower production accelerates, floral clusters begin to grow wider or fatten, resin production increases and peaks, sinsemilla calyxes plump, pistils start to wither and change color, and not long after that the plant is ready for harvest.
The time-table of the stretch and fatten phases are important events for cultivators growing an unknown variety for the first time. The two most common anxieties for indoor growers during flowering of an untested variety are....

• Running out of headroom or grow space due to unanticipated growth.
• Being unable to predict the harvest date in advance.

An indoor grower with limited space, especially limited headroom, can find his plants pressing against hot lights if he doesn't take measures to plan for the explosive growth that takes place during the stretch phase. Knowing how long the stretch will last can give him that advantage. Similarly, a grower with limited time doesn't want to wait until the show is over to know when it will end. There are many things he may want to do with his time now that it's freed up from the high maintenance demands of extraordinarily fast growing plants during the stretch. Having an idea whether this period of lower maintenance will extend another 40, 60, 80, or ??? days will also help in the timely scheduling of his next crop.
The 40/60 phenomena relate to two milestones.

• The Duration of the Stretch
• Days Spent Flowering

When one of those two flowering events are known, the other two can be predicted.

Yeah man don't pull her. I grew DP BB before and it's worth
it. The buds should fill in nicely. I remember mine went
12 weeks.

Good to hear, these stretched buds aren't blocking any light to the other plants so that's a good thing . It must be the strain because all the other plants look normal. The holy grail kush is the tall one in the pic that is a late budding strain as well. At 4 weeks the buds are just starting to form but it was probably due to it not having pre-flowers when flowered. Hopefully it's a good yield.

I had a few crazy phenos out of my pack. This one plant I yanked because the buds
Were so airy and open, I saw no hope. The other girls did better but didn't bulk up till
week 7 I think. I also needed branch supports,
as they were bending bad. And had a few little bananas.
but the smoke was very nice. Reminded me of juicy fruit
gum.

Could be a keeper. There is Thai in Blueberry. You could have a Thai dominant. Chances are it will herm. Just cut them off and see how it finishes - might be welllllllll worth it. Thai's love to herm. The theory behind it being there's so much rain in the areas they grow that pollen can't be spread easily otherwise.

Curious to see how it turns out for ya though.

stop worrying about stretch and keep an eye for male flowers. dp blueberry must have one of the highest hermie rates.
