I believe blueberry scorch virus causes a reduction in fruiting and that seems to still be producing well. Is it possible it got hot and dry for a bit recently?

the blueberries are like 25% of the size of the other healthy bush i got and they are wrinkly
plant is in the ground so i never thought of testing the ph i can try tho and yes its been between 80- 90 degrees for the last 2 weeks and gonna be 90-95 next 5 days
Sounds like the plant is getting dehydrated. Blueberries do not have aggressive roots so they need to be kept moist.
idk why i havent even thought of that i have been having to water everything atleast once a day lately otherwise after 24hrs shits drooping and thats the only thing in the ground so im sure the water dissapears even faster then a potted plant… ima get on that hopefully it works! thx!

If you are watering it daily with well water, you may need to add vinegar to the water. Also add iron sulfate to the soil very sparingly.
That plants looks terrible. Very yellow not deep green. Looks like fertilizer burn from using nitrates. You must use ammonium nitrates or urea only. Regular fertilizer should never be used.
In my opinion adding vinegar to water is a bad idea.vinegar quickly breaks down and releases carbonates . The only way to remove them is with sulfuric acid, add sulfur. Carbonates turn to gypsum which has a neutral pH. So if you are adding vinegar to tap water you are temporarily blocking carbonates in the water but soon, about a week the carbonates reappear when vinegar breaks down. If you have no other option at least saturate with vinegar water to run off the carbonates. In a pot you can do this. Flush soil by watering a long time.
Ammonium sulfate,right?The nitrate kind may be difficult to get,since it can be a component of explosives.
Yes , thanks for catching that.
