Has anyone ever seen this before

I’m in my third grow with auto flower white widows and each time they’re completely different from the time before. But this time I planted two seeds, same soil, same water and nutrients, same lights. Both sprouted same time and for the first 2 weeks everything looked fine. Then the one plant took off with a growth spurt. The other stayed the same. So after another two weeks I decided to transplant. So the plant that grew normally is busting with buds, going into week 14 .




The other plant grew to about 12-14 inches and has buds. It’s like it skipped the veg stage.

Individual seeds are different unlike clones which are identical.
Autos do their own thing on their own schedule.
Although not on the same grow but from the same seed shipment I’ve had one Jack Herrer net over 9 zips and another only 2 zips with little differences outside of being from different seeds.
They will both smoke fine just one with greater yield.

Photos you have more options.

I have been seeing a LOT of autoflowers stunting. Just had 1 blow up and another get 6 inches and turn to flower. Pulled it and trashed. Same strain. After all my auto seeds gone back to all photo I go.

Just call that one Charlie Brown Christmas tree!! :evergreen_tree:
Probably best to not transplant autos. They don’t have much time to veg. Maybe just fim them and let them grow.
Nice looking flower on Charlie.

June 2022 I started putting autos outside this happened to me a lot. I dug them up, find the small ones’ roots didnt go anywhere or ran into mud or ground became hard. Now adjusted to large pot I put outside and recent summer most autos got 5 - 6’ tall. Is the small one pot heavy. Howd the transplant go. Still like said theyre just like sis or bros thwyre not clones and transplant not only could damage but infection

Out of 6 plants, this is the only one that this has happened to. The other plant that I planted the same time ish the best grow I’ve had to date.

I don’t normally transport but plant directly into the 5 gal planter… the only reason I transplanted was I wanted to up date the soil and plant new seed which I did and that plant is now taller than the 14 wk plant. It’s crazy how they are all different

Yep I’ve done the same but now I’m running hydroponics in net baskets that allows me to cycle from 3 gallon starter to 5 gallon around week 3.
