Super leafy female

Hey guys, quick question. I have this green crack fem. she vegged for atleast 90 days waiting for room in the flowering tent. Towards end of veg all a sudden became very leafy and shot a bunch of small immature new growth. I went to flowering anyway but now I’m wondering if I need to toss her, clean her up or what? She’s a couple weeks into flower but very ugly and leafy as hell.

Sorry my lights were on in the photos.

Leafy plants make lotsa buds in between those nodes. What you are seeing is your plants go into pre-flower mode. Nothing to freak out about; normal growth. Some strains/phenos bush out like this; others maybe not so much. You want nice tight nodal spacing like this but hopefully you also have enough vertical space to let them grow in. That’s usually the biggest problem when you veg that long. This is a good thing though; I think you’ll be happy when she fills out with buds. Clean up the bottom branches shaded under canopy and clone them if you can.
