Serious Question

I feel dumb even posting this because it doesn’t even seem real😂 These two plants are the exact same strain from the same exact breeder, came in the same package. Only difference is I wanted to try my first DWC grow because I have always heard hydro grows faster. BUT WHAT IS THIS!!! I almost gave up on growing because all of my plants were so small and barley ever yielded me over 25 grams, even if the bud was super frosty and amazing. I have been growing for a little over a year so I definitely know a lot but not everything. I just cannot beileve the hydro plant had an amazing veg cycle and is already 3 weeks into flower, where as the soil plant is barley 8 inches tall.
