Pot size vs finish time

I was sitting with the girls this afternoon and was wondering. My purple punch are both exactly the same in every way with the exception of the size of the pots, one in a 2 gallon and the other in a 3. They are the same age, size, bud size, topped the same. The real difference is that the 2 gal has about 25-30% brown pistols and are really starting to curl in where the 3 gallon one has very few brown and have not started to really curl at all. Is it possible that being in a smaller container would make it finish faster or just coincidence?
 
I'm leaning more on the pheno. Had a similar experience with my Panama Red from Ace. One was more reddish the other just green.
 
I grow multiples of the same strain often and they’re all different and unpredictable coming from seed. One plant may grow taller with more spacing between nodes and produce a bunch of nugs where it’s sister is short and stout with buds 8” long. One may get a bunch of dark colors and be ripe in 8wks but it’s sister’s buds stayed green and took 9wks. Same tent, same environment 🤷🏻‍♂️

What interest me is the plants being the same size. 1 gallon isn’t much more soil but it’s still more soil. I’m wondering how much denser/heavier the buds get in the extra time it takes that plant to ripen.
 
Can be so many things. Only way to know is to grow the same way a lot with the same environment same everything really and that ain’t going to happen. One was just lazier than the other.
 
Other than 2 browning first the only other real difference is 3 is MUCH frostier than 2.
 
My $0.02 is that the "strains" are not necessarily stable from the seed banks. Where did you get the beans from?

True. An F1 or F2 would be all over the place. It takes a few generations of selective breeding to create a true strain with any uniformity.
 
Barney's rep is they are pretty stable. When I have had to use different sized ports there was a noticeable difference in the size of the plant and the harvest amount but not the finish time (which is why I asked about the strain).

Off-thread-topic, but have you ever grown Barny's Tangerine Dream?
