Hi fellow growers,  
This is my second grow, everything is going great this time around. I purchased seeds from ILGM. I grew 3 gold leaf feminized and 3 girl scout cookies feminized. They started the 5th week of flower today. One of the gold leaf plants has been growing very dark buds. They don’t look like the other 2 plants at all. Genetic defect, or is it just another strain? Take a look and let me know what you think. The first pic is another gold leaf.

No defect just different phenotype or different strain all together. Definitely not a defect

For a second time grower its different. I’m interested in to see if it passes the smoke test
