Ok so I have been growing mataro blue and am about 10 days away from harvest. but from the look of things my one plant is finishing faster then the other. it is the same strain and flipped at the same time.
Does this happen often to yall?
This is BALLS if you ask me

Ok so I have a question to ask you...Have you ever looked outside? Have you ever noticed flowers growing that bloom at different times that were started at the "same time"? It's called mother nature m8...she doesn't do everything based on your calendar on the wall ;)

If these two plants are cloned from the same mother, than disregard this. But if they are grown from seed , it's likely you're just experiencing two different phenotypes of the same strain. Most strains these days are crossbred like crazy, so it's not uncommon to get uniquely different plants from the same batch of seeds. For example, I once grew two "Royal Flush" plants from Nirvana. One of the plants was tall and lanky and had an unmistakable White widow influence. The other plant was almost a foot shorter, finished flowering 12 days earlier and more closely resembled an indica. Royal Flush, is a hybrid so there will be some genetic variation between individual plants.

damn everyone is beating me to my answers lately.
Two dif phenotypes makes sense. I have 2 dif special queen phenos, one has chunkier buds, less trichomes, the other one has skinnier buds and is very frosty. The first takes an extra week or so more than the other one.

I have 2 snowcap x grapefruit from seed, one is smaller than the other and it drinks up almost twice as much water and nutes as the bigger one. Each one's gonna be a little different when growing from seed.

thx everyone for the feedback. I have a decision to make. The original plan was to dry my bud in the same box as i grew, but now that the plants are going To have different times to finish I dont know if i should chop one and leave the other for her full potential. Or just chop both and have one thats fully ripe and one thats a bit on the preme side. any ideas to influence my decision?

You can just use some sort of empty box, like a TV box or something, rig a few fans in it and you're golden. But if you don't want to do that, IMO I'd chop them at the same time...one will have more couch-lock with more amber trichomes and the other will be more head-high will more milky/clear trichomes.

Don't kill her early, get the most out of her. Chop the finished one then let the other finish.

This happens with most strains and in most grows.
All plants are different, and will grow differently.

The best way to get around this is to harvest plants based on the individual factors, not the garden as a whole.
This is also why some people harvest in stages (top branches first, bottom later on after a bit more maturing).
