Indoor Plants developing differently

[Camhar]

These plants are from the same seeds. Why are they so different? They each received identical treatment in Coco coir'. Exactly. They are developing differently, especially in flower, color and size. The

darker on left has amazing bud flower development while the other is behind in flower development. 7 weeks , 5 gal grow bag, general hydroponics neuts, Purple Lemonade Autos, LST AT WEEK 3. LOTS of leaf removal even though it doesn't look like it.

Different phenotypes. It's very common

 

[BII]

Phenotype refers to physical appearance, physiology, anatomy etc. Genotype refers to the genetic material/sequences.

Why are same strain plants different? Because seeds (and plants) vary in their genetic material.

Plants are simpler, have fewer genetic editing and proofing capabilities, compared to mammals and humans. They make a lot more mistakes (mutations) in copying their genetic material. Mutations are simply common. This includes the DNA of the ovules (equivalent to female ova/eggs) and pollen that combine to form seeds.
