Okay need some blueberry help.

I bought these blueberries last year, and left them in the original store pot because I wasn’t sure where they would  
be long term. They sat in those pots thru the winter. They didnt look sad, just cramped.

When I did transplant them maybe a month ago, they were already flowering. I transplanted them into acidic soil with sand, added some blueberry fertilizer. They were happy at first, now they look like shit.

I live in Manteca, close to Sacramento,zone 9b. They’re high bush which is supposed to be better for heat.

My question is, what the is happening? I can’t tell if this is a mummy berry situation or just under watered. I was watering them more like a flower, around the outer edge and kinda sparsely.

definitely underwatering. flowering plants need huge amounts of water and sun to fuel their blooms.
