My plant grew to the height of nine feet and produced a good size indoor crop. The problem I had was that the buds were very loose. Is there a way to increase the bud density of my new batch of clones?

The reason your plant grew so tall and had loose buds is that it was a variety unsuitable for indoor cultivation. It is Sativa-dominant and requires high light levels. Indoors, varieties should be compact and adapted to light levels that are usually considerably less intense than summer and early fall sunlight.
