Supposedly the same strain, but one plant is different

So this really isn't a plant problem per se, but a question regarding strains I guess.

I got 5 feminized Kaya Gold seeds from Nirvana. One of the plants is definitely different.

Now Kaya is supposed to be sativa dominant which from what I read, the "fingers" on the leaves would be longer and thinner.

With my plants the one plant that is different is the one with the longer thinner fingers. The plant is also already 30% taller than the others and they are only 2 weeks old.

The other plants "fingers" are definitely shorter and fatter. The plant is also more compact with the node spacing closer indicative of an indica strain.

I'm starting to wonder what the hell Nirvana sent me?

My question is, with hybrids can one plant from supposedly the same strain exhibit different qualities than the others?

Or, did Nirvana ship me whatever they could put their hands on?

it probably isn't a stabilized strain, so they may just be 2 different phenotypes of the same strain.. thy will be similar in ways and different in others.. both have traits from both parents..

I hope you are correct. Of course, all of the plants look great, so I guess it doesn't really matter. I just hope that 99.9 percent of them are female.

If the strain wasn't stable you could possibly have a male or hermie . . . I would watch that one more carefully once you start flowering to make sure it doesn't hermie out on you. I have seen this before too, where seeds from supposedly the same strain grew a couple weird, different looking plants than most of them. The weird ones turned out to be hermie in my case, hopefully yours will be OK!

Another option is that a seed from a different strain got mixed in there by mistake and sent to you.

they dont wont be male or hermie cuz of how they look.. they are unstable as in, not homogonized or howevers u spell it.. they are just two dofferent phenos.. n this is normal.
