Difference between twins.

Hi, growers! I want to know, why one of my ladies is bigger, then the other (Germination difference was 8hrs only). Maybe it's because bad working ventilator? One of my two vents was stopping all the time, Today I changed It to the new one.

Plant. Too short

Seeds do not have identical genes, they are unique individual organic beings. All seeds grow differently, even though they come from the same parent. There is no guarantee that 2 seeds from the same packet came from the same plant either. Breeders may grow hundreds of seed plants to provide enough seeds for a year or more supply in a global market. There is no guarantee that even the pollen that was used for seed breeding came from only one male plant either. Differences in growth rates have nothing to do with ventilation or 8 hours in sprouting time, it is just that seeds DO NOT have identical genes and grow to their own individual schedule........only clones have identical genes. If you learned biology properly, you would understand the principles of "genetic re-combination".........the main reason for differences in seeds.

Although, I think I figured it out. The difference in seed pecking (8 hours) is the reason for the differences in the "phenotype". Just when one plant was 20 hours from seed and it was night, for example, the second was 12. that is, the difference in the environment in a different period of life is subjective for each plant gave such a result. Am I right?

Theoretically, two identical sets of "genotype" genes, when placed in ideally identical conditions, will produce a perfectly identical "phenotype". And this also applies to human twins. The difference in what is happening to them in a life time(environment) dictates the difference in appearance. My question was: Was there enough difference in the operation of the ventilators for an identical set of genes to give a different result, or is there another reason? Mb genes set is not the same ideally? I learned biology at school my friends.

Lesson time! Cannabis has genotypes and phenotypes. Genotype refers to the cultivar(people also incorrectly call it, "strain,") of the cannabis plant. Or, the genetic makeup of the cultivar. Both mean the same thing. Nowadays, there is enough evidence to prove environment makes cultivars grow differently. The different variations that show up due to this is what is known as phenotypes. Since genotypes map out the potential growth patterns and characteristics of the plant, the environment the genotype is in will make different traits show up. So, say we have 2 plants from the same batch of seeds, like you do. Same genotype(cultivar), same seed run, same everything. Sisters, basically. We keep them in the same exact environment, with the same exact amount of light, nutrients, etc. A month after germination, one is growing faster than the other. This means the plants are different phenotypes, due to displaying different growth patterns in the same environment. Let's take it one step further. Let's say these plants are flowering. One plant might be done, but the other still looks like it needs another week or two. This is more proof that the two sisters are different phenotypes. Finally, you get to smoke some after a great dry and perfect cure! The plant that was done faster has a decent taste, but the one that took longer is five times more tasty! That's due to environment triggering different gene sequences of the genotype and making them dominant. I hope this helps.

I have all most every time same issue where I grow same genetic, but the plant is a different size. It's all about seeds. If you would have fresh two big seeds they you would get almost the same results. Next time when you grow check the size of the seeds and if they have this pattern on them. Do test and see that bigger and darker seeds grow better. Now I start buying more seeds and put them in a pot and only keep the better one

Let's put this in simpler terms... no two seeds, even if they're the same strain from the same seedbank, will ever be exactly the same... just as human twins are never absolutely identical. You need to treat each as an individual because that's what they are. And no, this has nothing to do with ventilation... they're so little right now, you can see and notice the size difference - but it probably won't be noticable at all when they're 4 weeks into flower.... have patience... Good luck!

Hey Growmie, No, this has nothing to do with ventilation issues's what your seeing has to do with genetics and phenotype. Autoflower seeds also express different phenotypes, just as feminized cannabis seeds do. When you grow autoflower seeds you can expect to see a range of weed phenotypes. When refering to a phenotype this simply means the traits that the environment pulls out from the plant’s genetics. The environment, therefore, can steer various plant properties including color, shape, smell, and resin production.

Ich denke dass das auf zwei verschiedene phänos zurück zu schließen ist. Deshalb der unterschiedliche Wuchs.
