Is this normal?

[AMP]

Week 3 of flowering stage . It’s only my second Grow and these are all northern light autos. Is it normal for all three to be in different stages?will the beast in the back fill out eventually? Any insight would be greatly appreciated , i don’t know anyone who grows so I’m self taught and get most of my info from places like this from actual growers.

Ay mate. Yes it is completely normal for seed grown plants of the same strain to be at different stages, sizes, smell, taste, affect etc in both auto and photo strains. I predict that the beast will fill out nicely and be great yielder just going to take longer than the others which may be beneficial as you won't be swamped with a heap of trimming at once.

I'm pretty sure the only way to have a number of plants that are going to be the same is to grow from cuttings off the same mother.

[AMP]

Thank you for your insight and that’s a great point about the trimming being spaced out! Cant wait to see how the “beast” ends up 😁 I feel much better knowing it’s just a slow poke and not a dud. Ironic that the beast was the runt in the early veg stage

[ductwizard]

looks good man, yeah like wayzee said it happens all the time. i planted 5 of the same type of seeds and they're nothing alike. don't sweat it

[AMP]

Thank you! Thank you for the info, i never would have guessed they could all be so different , I’m hoping to get better with each grow, learning more each time.

[Wayzee]

they're much like humans when it comes to genetics.

What kind of light are you using? Is it a bar light or quantum board?

[AMP]

At first 2 1000 watt blurples, now 2 vivosuns 1000 watt. Growing in 50/50 soil and coco

Yes, plants do what they want don't sweat it. Just cause it happened to me when I started, have you read the main site, not just the forum? There is so much good information there. I found the forum first and someone mentioned the main site with all the good information that at the time I was unaware of.

'Phenotype' is the word y'all are looking for. A phenotype of the genotype. All living things are mutants.

[dirtymike]

To a varying degree also, good and bad I believe. Correct?

[DabberDog]

Correct-a-mundo.
'cept for clones. Clones don't count. That shit ain't natural. All living things that are not clones are mutants. But things that are cloned can become mutated.
I'm getting confused. Stop confusing me, Mike.

I was curious about the light. I grow with an HLG RSpec. Every grow I’ve had with it one plant in the same location will bust out and get a few inches taller than its tent mates. The others have always caught up in flower. I think it’s the spectrum and arrangement of the led’s. But IDK. I was just curious. I’ve seen the different phenotypes in some of the hybrids I’ve grown.

[Wayzee]

Have you got a par meter to check if it's getting different ppfd? It could be environmental too, ie closer to intake or exhaust fan, further away from oscillating fan...

[AMP]

That’s a really good point. They were under two Blurples that came with my tent set up. I recently bought two 1000 vivosun full spectrum lights and the two that were lagging seem to be catching up.

[AMP]

Hey Wayzee the smaller one that was lagging was in fact closer to my intake hose, never would have thought of that, thank you!

Even in a small space, location can make a difference to how a plant grows. Airflow, temp, light might be slightly different in small amounts (to us) but can be a big difference to how the plant breathes and photosynthesizes.

Or just the uniqueness of the phenotype.

[AMP]

I rotate the plants in their place when i water but i wonder if i should rotate their placement in the tent as well? I’m growing in 50/50 soil and coco. This is my second Grow and i haven’t ventured into hydro yet but it’s definitely the end plan. Idk why it scares me lol
