Same strain, looks so different. Complete newbie, please help.

I was gifted 3 clones, Pink Runtz, late in the season (July 4th). I've never grown before, but gave it a shot anyway. I've made a few mistakes, but I'm curious now why 1 of them looks completely different from the others. I've treated all 3 exactly the same. Any ideas? The 1st pic is the oddball. The 2nd and 3rd look the same, so i only posted 1 pic of that. 20200907_135636.jpg20200907_135537.jpg

I treat all mine differently, then there are less surprises. Different phenotypes within same strain, like bros and sistas ;)

Sooo, after alot of researching and a jeweler's loupe, it turned out to be russet mites . All 3 of my babies. I'm a little distraught, but I do have some seeds I plan on popping next spring. Thanks for being the only soul to reply

Sorry to hear you had mites. Did you resolve it, or deal with them?

Hard to see anything in that first photo, a bit too blurry to see issue in the leaf.

I tried 'green cleaner' which really got rid of alot of the mites. In the process tho, I over waters my girls. I think they're stunted. Rookie mistakes, I know. It'll be too cold soon up here (central MA). So, although one looks a little healthier, I don't expect much yield from it. 16009637511696816065565304675641.jpg
