Never see that before. Pretty cool.

Plants always grow differently based on environment and inputs, regardless of whether they are clones or from seed. That's one of the beautiful things about mother nature, she changes her strategy based on the cards she's dealt.
Growing even a clone of the exact same plant will not produce the exact same results every time unless they are grown in the exact same environment(light, light angle, soil, water, fertilizer, temp, microbes, ph, etc.).
Some folks who are chasing the flavor and high of certain old legendary strains like the chems and sour diesels even go so far as to grow them using the same lights and fertilizers that people were using back then. They do this to replicate the environment that they were grown in at that time, in an effort to get the plants to produce the same phenotypes that they were known for back in the 90's.

So I ended Up separating the twin (multigerm sprout from single seed) after 2 weeks and they both started growing very slow since they had to split their seed stored energy and I had No hope for them. however, they ended up turning into my tallest plants. They are both outdoors and they look almost exactly the same except for a few variation in leaves

So the two in the front are the twins separated 2 weeks after birth. Theirs a third one behind them but it was my weakest/smallest seedling.

My clones are on the right side of the tent and they grew to the same height. Share similar phenos but are definitely different.

Oh yeah? What exactly about the science is "settled"?

Well maybe not science but you can grow either way with equal success in my opinion. I don't have a problem with female seeds. I can't remember when they first started to appear. Maybe I am too high.

Maybe he meant that the science of feminizing seeds has gotten better. I’ve only had 13 plants out of hundreds over the past few years that hermed on me. The rest were all female, but then again, I do a lot of cloning.

We've been able to grow either way find for decades. There's nothing wrong with HPS grown buds. Also science is never "settled", as the entire idea of science is to test and push back on presupposed theories. Einstein certainly wasn't satisfied with Newton's "settled" version of gravity.

From your pics, grown indoors seems bigger than grown outdoors. And It maybe better to transplant the indoor plants into bigger pots. When they grow bigger, there will be crowded.
I guess it depends how far back you go. Decades are just 20 years. They were not testing for spores or pesticides in the 70s or 80s that I recall. I am just saying everything is improved. One of the main improvements was the availability to search and educate yourself on the internet in places like these. I am old I guess.

Why not? You want them taller?

The untapped plants are at 5 feet right now and topped is like 4 feet

I mean you can top plants down as low as you want if you are looking to restrict height.

Topping should be considered on a case by case basis, seems like there isn't any compelling reason to restrict height in your situation. And given how close together those plants are planted you probably don't want to top, you don't have a huge amount of room horizontally, but the sky's the limit vertically.

1 month into flowering indoors and outdoors plants getting tall
