starting to flower...is it normal for leaves to thin out?

Hi all - This is my first grow and I ended up with (so far) 4 females, all outdoors - I'd post in Outdoor, but this is a general question.

Since starting to flower, it seems like the leaves have been thinning out - either that or the branches have gotten longer between the leaf sets. Does that make sense and is it normal? I'm hoping it's just the plant's way of making room for lovely buds.

This is one of those things that I didn't see in the GROW FAQ and since I have no experience, I'm askin'!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Twisty - you always give good straight forward advice.

Cheers!

chug a bunch of castor oil and then blow shit all over your ladies, they will thicken up...

It happens maybe a shot of some ferts would help. Mine have done that before too. Not a big deal, but I would give them some food if you havent already. I would like to see some pics if you got them?

Good point missed that one.
