even though two plants may belong to the same breed, they can exhibit different phenotypes. This is because each plant inherits a unique combination of genes from both the father and the mother. As a result, one plant may have a stronger genetic influence from the father, while the other may showcase more prominent traits from the mother. These phenotypic variations are normal and natural in the plant world. It can be exciting to observe how different characteristics manifest in each plant, even within the same breed. Each phenotype has its own beauty and may offer unique benefits in terms of growth, production, or resistance to certain conditions. It's important to remember that phenotypes are a visual expression of a plant's genes and do not necessarily indicate superiority or inferiority. Each plant is special in its own way and deserves to be appreciated for its uniqueness. I wish you the best of luck with your plants and hope you enjoy the process of observing how they develop and express their individual characteristics. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Best regards and success in your cultivation journey!

Seeds are not clones and don't always have the same traits. Its all about their phenotype and Genotype. Or think of this like your own family or another family that has multiple children "seeds" from the same parents. Not every kid is the same despite them all coming from the same mom n dad. They may show traits like one parent or the other and a few mixes in between. This is just like seeds. Granted big variances in traits of the offspring mean that the genetics have not been locked in well. or sometimes the breeder may say they are two main phenotypes you will notice, a short and fat and a skinny n tall. Autoflowers are tricky as well, they don't always have good genetics and so many stressors can cause them to do dumb things but I still like growing them. Nothing is out of the ordinary here. Keep growing them out and you'll do just fine. FYI Crop King seeds are meh IMO. Other better options out there for autos in same price range. Good Luck!
