Hey yall so how did my 2 girls grow so drastically different?

I have 2 plants in late flower and it's crazy how different they are growing and I just want to know if this is normal or was this growers error? I used the same light on them and same food on them they both were sharing the 450watt light but righty was stealing all the energy somehow because my left plant just stopped growing in flower.

Maybe somewhere I messed up and stunted her growth but she never showed any signs of distress! This height she has is the same from veg, she never grew when I switched her to 12/12. Now she's budding but weeks after her sister and no where near as big! But she has way more tops and she is much wider.

Her growth was so stalled I had to buy another light just for her. So what did I do wrong so I don't do it again or is this the cards I was delt and this is just what happens with hybrids?

Amnesia x dosidos #18
Week 6.5 flower from 12/12 switch 1200ppm
Dwc no reseviour, distilled water
GHP trio, Flower fuel, kool bloom, Floralicious, hydroguard, Silica, Calmag, Flora Nectar
450watt plus a 150watt
Temps 73F RH 50 during the day & 69F RH 45 at Night.

Eh, this is normal with seeds. It takes a long time for a breeder to cube a strain to make reliable, consistent seeds with few phenotypes.

But simply crossing two strains isn’t breeding, and gives you LOTS of variation in their offspring

I’ll try to explain it the best I can in the easiest way.

Just imagine seeds are like human children. If you have 10 children with the same person, they aren’t all going to be exact copies of each other. Some may be taller or shorter, some may have brown hair, some blond, some maybe even red hair if both parents share the recessive trait. Some may be naturally skinny, some may have larger bones and larger structure. The same goes for weed plants grown from seed

If you want me to explain Cubing a strain to get less variation from the seeds, I can.

But chances are you just got 2 different phenotypes.
