Why 1 plant so different?

So my first auto grow here, 3 royal queen northern lights. About 3.5 weeks since seeds planted directly into coco/perlite mix. Sun up till sun down full sun outside then I bring them into my indoor tent overnight with my 900 watt (450 actual pull) Mars hydro led. So pretty much 22-24 hours of light. Using dyna-gro foliage pro, proteckt, and gh calimag. I understand the whole pheno difference potential but this seems extreme... Any thoughts? Thanks!

great light schedule!

Thats just a result of genetic instability, whoever bred that strain didnt do enough breeding to ensure that the variation expressed in complex traits like (height, branching) were all stable for 1 size.

usually with these autoflower "strains" that are just photoperiod elite clones such as white widow, northern lights, og kush they only take the cross out to the F3 to make sure its reliably autoflowering then release it.

very nice plants though.

Thanks! Will there be a big yield or potency difference?

could be.... lol I know thats not what you want to hear but if it hasnt been stabalized for any particular traits aside from autoflowering it could be very different from the other 2.

only 1 way to find out ;)

Bro have you seen mine lately, same strain, one is a little over 2 ft and the other is over 5 ft. Looks like yours will stay pretty short.

Yeah no biggie... They'll turn out the way they turn out... Free seeds from Herbies anyway and they're seeming pretty healthy and are showing pre flower this morning. How are yours coming along? Haven't seen any pics for awhile?

Just found your pics, I was following your thread but your updates didn't alert me for some reason. Looking good homie!

Thanks man, you see the size difference I have, wait till I update tomorrow. I should only have 3 weeks left at the most
Just make sure you let them run till they are actually done and not what the breeder says. My first grow turned out like shit cause I harvested early...
