Getting close to harvest. These two plants are supposed to be Purple Haze, Feminized Photos from Homegrown Cannabis Co.  
They received the same care, nutes, watering, etc etc. and yet they look so different.

Is this possible for them to both be the same strain?

Yes you can get two seeds of the same strain and get two different looking plants unfortunately. Great looking plants by the way, nice work

It’s called phenotypes, same strains can have several phenos that determine bud structure, terps and smells, tast. Many differences are possible within one strain. A lot depends on how stable the strain is from the breeder back crossing them for stability.
