What do you guys think about these two blue widow plants?

Got these seeds from kindseed.com, sprouted them on june 16th. So they are 1 month old. The taller one has short fat indica leaves and the short one has skinny jagged sativa leaves. The one is over a foot tall and the little one is about half that. They are both in 5 gal pots with sunshine mix 4 and happy frog veg nutes mixed in. They have been side by side the whole time and watered exactly the same. Why are they so different looking? Is this normal to have totally different traits from the same type seed?

Btw, I fim cut the tall one 2 days ago. I need them to be short and bushy. Even though I have med cards I still don't want any of my neighbors to see them.

Its different phenotypes but that is a pretty extreme difference.
That is exactly what has me wondering. Got one indica and one sativa from the same batch of seeds. And the indica one is growing twice as fast, seems backwards to me.

Did some internet research, looked at a lot of pictures and videos of other peoples blue widow. The tall one with the indica leaves looks to be right. The short one with sativa leaves doesn't look like any blue widow that I seen. Oh well, still gonna grow it out and see how it turns out. Here is a pictures from this morning.

Looks like they are thirsty, how much water do u give them when they dry out?
Not sure about that, the leaves are soft and cool to the touch. I keep the soil moist. When it gets dry on top I give them water. Not sure how much, enough to make it run out the bottom.

I mixed in happy frog organic nutes when I planted these. The guy at the hydro store where bought everything suggested that I also feed them with the ff big grow liquid nutes that I have for my other plants. I know big grow isn't all organic, I'm not trying to go all organic, what do you guys think? I could top dress with more happy frog or feed with big grow.

These pict are from the a few days ago. The big bushy one turn out to be male, gonna keep him and breed later with some other females. The small runt is still growing really slow and real sensitive to everything, sun, water, and nutes. Pretty much forgeting about these cause my bubbleberry clones just started to flower and I have 2 bluehawaiians that are about 2 weeks old, these need my attention more. Got more blue widow seeds to start some time in the future.

Very nice - and yes quite different. You might ask them where you bought it. I've only ever grown bag seed. I'm too paranoid to order from a seed bank but would love to ... some day :)

I know people like to post photos of veg plants, but you really can't tell shit about a plant until it buds. Blue widow is a genetic monstrosity (I watched a trifoliate clone revert back to "normal") but at least the finished product has merit. And it clones like a mad bastard, 100% success rate. But it has to finish, it is worthless early. YMMV.
