Would it be possible to get some more pics of your plants? That one is a bit tough to see them that well, plus the vets will be more likely to chime in with clear pics :) It really just depends in regards to flowering time and how long a plant takes to hit that preflower stretch phase and beyond. Are there more plants of the same strain that are 'lagging' behind, or are they all different strains that are?

Every seed is unique. Under perfect conditions, the only time you'll see the same growth rates from different plants are either clones, which are really just the same plant, stable genetics or chance. Totally normal to see some out front and some lagging a little, even if they're the same strain.

Some clearer pictures and more details about your grow would be helpful for diagnosing problems.

imo that is because 1. your growing different strains 2. if your not growing from clones they will all be different pheno's.

different strains finish at different times and pheno's grow differently despite they are the same strain thus why many people like to take clones from only the best plants for that specific genetics.

Get the male out before it drops pollen and you will be fine. Otherwise you might have a mess with how young those plants are.

Plants grow at different rates just like others have said. They also begin flowering at different times based on genetics and environment.

f'n Male Plant ...destroyed! so the rest of them are trash i guess?
Not necessarily...you can have males than have yet to pollinate a signifcant amount...I'm really not well versed in dealing with males and pollination, but I'm not sure if I'd say it's time to trash your entire crop just yet. At least do some double checking and some research on it. Good luck buddy hate that ya had bad luck this time.

In those pictures I don't see many if any pollen sacks completely open. So you might be able to save a seedless crop. In general a seeded crop can still be awesome smoke still, you just have to pick out the seeds. It can still be potant, and grow nice buds. Have you noticed the stigma(pistils) turning brown and curling inward on any of the other plants yet?

My concern in this case is how young the plants are when they could be getting pollenated. When I've seen videos and pictures of when breeders pollenate they usually wait a few more weeks for the buds to really start to mature more. I assume to give the seeds the best opportunity to grow to viability.
