Compacted Nodes?

My first grow.. Just messing around with bagseeds until my NL seeds arrive. Mary here has been above ground for about 2 - 2 1/2 weeks. I had some ph issues at first and it stunted her growth. Now i know strain has a lot to do with it but compared to other pics of plants at this age she is very compacted. She seems to be healthy and growing fine just short. Do i have anything to worry about or any defencies im overlooking?

She looks fine to me, but it's a bit early for things to get out of hand. Enjoy the journey.

Compact nodes is from the color of the light and how close its run to the plant.

I seem to get really compact growth , atleast for the first 4 weeks using 2700k for the veg period ,I do keep the light as close as possible without burning , and I grow 12/12 from seed

Yea i just put her under a new LED 300W hydrogalaxy board. Its supposed to be full spectrum. Ive kept the kelvins pretty low i guess that is why. Im just growing 1 or 2 plants for personal use in my closet so i want them to stay short and bushy. Any advice on what to do next? I know its to early for foliating or topping. Ive read some on LST. I think i might try that route when shes bigger bc honestly im to inexperienced to start chopping at her. Any advice on the best way to keep her short and bushy with the best yield would be appreciated

I grow in a confined space where vertical room is a luxury ,I start LST at the third node, I bend it over 90degrees so its flush with the soil , I then tie it down at the base of the stem so It doesnt spring back up while letting the tops grow out a bit , After that I just keep bringing the main steam down and around the pot because they reaaaly do te to get tall and I need to have the shortest plant ,I'll post a pic of my current micro , LST didn't turn out quite as I'd hoped , the cluster of small buds is what would be the popcorn on the bottom of the plant.
