Northern lights auto Forming just pistols and not any real BUD

Looks like she just has like 3+ weeks to go. Just give her some more time.

Different plant not a clone, can't compare really the plant will be what it is on the seed. Genetics dude. Might even of had a crapper start ad seedling this can slow rhe whole grow, root problems setting in.. soil more compact. And basically the plant not 100% healthy in 1 area.. in simple terms lol..

Diffrent pheno types of the the same plants. seeds are like brothers and sisters. not identical but similar. One of them just might not be as impressive.

HI bud. No worries. No two plants are the same and can grow quite differently from each other, even under the same environmental conditions. They both look fine to me :) Even the one that is "just forming pistols". It's Northern light. They have extended grow times, even the auto flowers. One may take three and a half months. An other may take up to five months. You won't be disappointed with either. Let them do their thing and they'll be ready when they are ready. It'll be a while still :) Hope this helps, even just a little.

it's normal.. nothing different for autos vs photos in this regard. Patience, grasshopper. One looks about 1 week ahead of the other... Both have a long time, yet.
