Same strain different growth rates and patterns. One plant is shorter and wider while the other plant is taller. Basically the same amount of leaves.
The shorter and wider plant was repotted a week sooner in cycle. Could that be the reason? Or genetics?
Hey! Let's say that yes, it could be that the extra week allowed the plant to "feel" before getting more soil, making it bulk up more easily :) but keep in mind that since they were grown from seed, it could just be a matter of pheno :) if the difference stays pretty similar throughout the growth, then it's the pheno; if they stay similar, then it was just the repotting.
When you grow from seed you are going to have observable differences in plants.
Many refer to these as different phenotypes of the same variety or strain.
Totally normal.
It is going to be due to genetics, it sounds like you have different phenotypes. When talking about smell, taste, color, shape, and potency, it is always the phenotype that is at work.
