Hey riu i would like to know why some of my plants grow fast and some grow slower. is it genetics? I treat them all the same but some grow like 3x faster? why does this happen?

"Seeming to grow faster" might actually be "stretching more"
and this could have to do with your lighting and the placement
of the plants. ....no idea really, but genetic variation does seem
to be the most likely.

Good luck,

Genetics that's why people grow multiple plants and choose the best and strongest to become mother plants.......there the same strain right?

At that age its almost impossible to tell strains apart.... If your growing a skunk and a kush the kush will grow slower...that and depends on lots of things when you start having multiple strains as well as f1'f2 and so forth f1 has hybrid vigor grows faster

I think that I am seeing some leaf folding. I have not had that problem
yet, but have heard that it is heat related. Either lighting or ventilation
might need a tweak.

They look a bit stressed, but the short squat number looks happy.

I will let the pros comment further.

Good luck,

JD

1st of all some plant grow at different speeds due to genetics

2nd clean your grow room it looks a mess will only cause you problems in the end

3rd wtf is that soil you are using it looks like bark

ditch the soil get new soil and perlite and fill the plant post to about 1" from the top

it is genetics. all plants grow differently unless they are clones from the same mother even then you can see variation from time to time

personally i use £2 grow bags with no nutes value and buy a a bag of perlite and mix them 60%perlite and 40% soil and that makes a really light mix for soil my plant seem to love it and even in a 3 month grow my plants will get to the bottom of a 10liter plant pot
