RQS Royal Cheese Auto Dry Feed

Steady as she goes. Growth is clearly in flowering phase. Trichs were visible in the beginning of the week and now omnipresent. No LST this week accept some tugging. Branches are getting pretty stiff. Lots of sun this week. Just had to keep her on the window sill for 2 days + cfl because of cold and rain. runoff and EC ok. The plant is about half the size of the liquid fed one and I don't know what the cause of this is. Is it purely pheno related? I don't really mind the size difference but since I am comparing the 2 feeding ways I am genuinely wondering why this is. Really curious if I will taste the difference.
