Hi all, thanks in advance for everyone's help and advice!
I have these two NYC Diesles right now that are on day #39 of flower (10 week strain) so they are a little more than halfway done. These two plants were grown from seed and up until two weeks ago they appeared very similar. Both of these plants are the same distance from my HPS lights, both of them receive the same feeding from the same bucket of nutes and are in the same soil. There is literally no difference in the way I have been growing them. One of the two showed signs of being overwatered at one point but that was corrected. Now that the plants are a little more than halfway through flower I am noticing that the buds forming on them are completely different. The growth rates of the plants are the same, they are the same size, the leaves of both plants are identical in shape and size. The ONLY difference I am seeing, and it is a huge difference, is in the bud formation and growth. I was thinking that the plant with more hairs and bigger buds was simply stronger, but now I am wondering if I am looking at a genetic difference and not just one plant growing more vigirously.
Plant #1 with a long thin cola, the white hairs forming on the buds are much fewer than the other plant:
Plant #2 with more hairs, more trichs, and a much shorter heavier top that is getting close to the size of a baseball:
(EDIT: If you open and compare the two middle pictures on each row you can see what I mean. Both of these pics are showing buds growing (not the main top). You can tell that the one from plant #2 has a LOT more hairs and bud growth.
