there's often a runt in the two , the short one will be that runt, it could grow to maturity if you separate them but it's at high risk of "sudden death syndrome" i lost a plant like that 2 weeks before harvest , it had been doing well but shorter than the rest of the C99s, then one day i checked and it had died over night from 100 to 0 in a few hours. Anyway seperating them is the best thing you can do for the "one you keep" right, Hope this helps growmie 🚀
