Slow start to flowering

Mine are sloooooow as well...but I chalk it up to being a newbie and wayyy too much plant love. I go out every 12-14 minutes to see how much they’ve changed, decide I need to do something to them RIGHT NOW. 5 minutes later I realize the mistake I made so I go ahead and do something else stupid to undo stupid move number one. I then proceed to panic, go on RIU, realize I eff’d up yet again and go inside for a little cry before I take a nap from the stress and anxiety.

This is my new life. Kill me...

Ahaha I'm glad I have a support group like you guys, I thought I was the only one, I try my best to give them space and not piss them of but I totally get what you mean.

Ohhhh yaaaa! We're all just amped up lol. Even with what I'm calling a slowish start these ladies are still ahead of last year by good margin. A week anyway.20180907_191108.jpg

Please step away from the plant.

I have one that is way ahead compared to the other, both are same strain from same seed pack, both were progressing the same all the way to flower, and both in the same soil (earth not pots) side by side receiving the same light. Not sure if this one will make it but I'm really curious what happened for them to be completely different. Is that what would be considered bad genetics? or is it possible I did something?

You can have several phenotypes of the same strain. Some will pick up characteristics like longer flowering from a parent. I had 3 or 4 different phenos of the blue dream and harvest was 2 1/2 weeks difference.
When you hear the term unstable genetics this is what it means.... you just never know what pheno you will get sometimes.

You know what that pretty much would totally answer it for sure. Since it is a hybrid I guess it's they are leaning towards different parents, plus I cut some lower leaves earlier on and they both had a slightly different smell, the one was more lemon scented while the other was earthy.

I have a runt too. Same thing. Professional dna same pack. Perfect leaves perfect color not a single blemish. Healthiest of the indoor but half the size. Even full grown fan leaves are 50% smaller than the others. I've read they can explode during bloom. Odds are it stays a half pint.
