Plants looks different same stain?

[Quinteli]

Hello, I have 2 plants that are of the white widow strain. Is it possible that there 2 different strains if they look different. One looks better than the other.the true leaves are bigger on one.

Too early to tell anything for sure but if from seed can be different phenotypes of the same strain. Seeds are never exactly the same tho if properly stabilized will be close.

How do you stabilize? So 2 white white stains from seed, each plant has a different look? Will one be more potent? Wow

It takes several grows of interbreeding several plants to successfully lock down traits. Not all traits can be locked down, so even with extremely good breeders, not all seeds will have the exact same traits.

Perhaps the breeder has locked down flower time, durability in cold temperatures, bud size, and smell, but perhaps they hadn't locked down leaf colour, then each seed may have light or dark green leaves, or even ones with purple (depending on the parent pool), but because the trait wasn't locked down, the colour will be inconsistent.

@spek9 covered the basics. There can be many genes involved in one trait like leaf shape or growth pattern et, and different genes can be expressed from identical clones grown under different conditions too so there's a myriad of possibilities tho most will be subtle.

Just like with us animals each side has half the total genes from the parent and each half is from a shuffled deck so none have the same genes making up it's half. With identical twins they look the same and have the same sex as they are from a zygote that split so each contains the exact same genes. With fraternal twins they can look totally different and be different sex as well because they are two different zygotes. Think of seeds from the same strain as fraternal while clones are identical.

The smart grower makes sure to get at least one rooted clone from each plant grown from seed so if one of the parent plants turns out to be the best ever you can use that clone to propagate thousands more of the same plants if you want.

So should I clone the one I think is better, like build a veg room and clone the one I think is better while they other are flowering. Mabey like 4 clones for my 3x3 and I can buy a smaller tent for veg?

Clone both....smoke test. Then you know which one you like better and clone the hell out of it.
