Is it normal for some plants to have crystals and others dont

I have 4 plants all around 5 1/2 weeks old. They are autoflowers. 2 of them are showing crystals, the other two aren't really showing them. When I look at one closely I see crystals on the bud, not the fade leaves yet. The other guy doesn't seem to have any yet. Is this normal?

are they all the same plant/type? even individuals from same "species" will have varying phenotypes
2 are the same age and strain, one of them has alot if crystals, the other doesn't. One is one day younger, different strain, no crystals. My fourth guy is a different strain, he's the youngest of the bunch, he just turned 5 weeks old today, he has alot of crystals as well

1. Gorilla glue (left) - has no crystals
2. Zkittlez - has small crystals starting on inner bud not fan leaves, cant really see anything in the pic though because there isn't many
3. Zkittlez- she got crystals
4. Gelato (right) - she got crystals

I know about the leaves. I underwatered the plant by accident. Gave her water and she lives, but some of her beautiful leaves never fully recovered. Only time will tell if the leaves will fix itself, or remain like that until time to chop. It was a sham though, they looked perfect almost prior

Man I think you're growing some reggie man..

JK. Your plants will start packing on frost just be patient. Everything looks fine
I see the one zkittlez when you zoom in does have crystals, I just must not be able to see them quite yet in person. How do my girls look? There small, but they are the coolest small plants i ever saw in my life.

Bro I have to grow mine out small and they always get fat like 1-2oz per plant. They're also badass bushy runts like u said. They're looking fine my dude

If they give me 2oz I will be happy as a lark. Some people on here act like I want to grow 10oz plants . My ending goal for now is 3oz a plant, my goal this grow is 1oz a plant. Some errors were made to say the least, but they all look healthy. Thanks for the hope.

I started sticking with the small plants (your size) after trying bigger ones and I find it not to be worth it. Only because after they stretch the lower bud sites just have been mediocre compared to the main tops and I'm just left with long ass plants that produce the same if they were smaller..

So now I get a lot of small plants in a small space and doubled my yield that way.

You can probably do 10 that size in there

Stress kills your trichs off easily, normally the case.
Could crystals grow on later? I hope they aren't garbage now. Im not asking for 30% flower. My goal is probably 18-22%. Mabe a smidgen lower. I dont prefer super strong bud. I dont like it weak, but I don't like it super strong either

Bro your weed is gonna produce trichomes it's still early yet. Don't let this dude scare you. Although stress (heat stress) will slow down trichomes production. I've had it happen but the weed is still nice. Probably still better than what betty bo Bob has down the block

I have a 6×6×8 grow tent. I wanted to make sure I had extra space for equipment as well as room for extra plants if I ever wanted to grow more. I figured get a little more than what you need. I cant complain with this grow set up so far. Is the light not big enough to cover the whole space, yes, but its working for me so far. Its a 320w kingbright.

Hell yeah dude. Grow with your setup over time. It's a good way to learn to. Some people just want to grow some weed and save a buck and you're doing the right thing

You'll add more lights and upgrades overtime. Respect.

As long as she produces stuff that I think is fire, that is all that matters. This is bud i grew last grow. It is light and airy as fuck due to me using a cheaper light. It still smoked good and was fire in my book. Prob 18% or a little lower. I didn't have 18% in awhile.

O i pissed off people in a previous thread because I refused to buy something. I got a 200 some tent, 330 in lights (the one I got now cost 230, the other around 100), 50 some on nutes, mabe 300 hundred in electric, fan, dehumidifier, etc. I spent a decent amount these two grows already. I wasn't going to buy an exhaust thing until next grow. I got my door open, and humidity hand around low 40%-55%. I would say normally hangs around 40%. You got to work with what you got sometimes. Its not like I didn't pay to play the game

But it also pays to do your research before you start buying stuff. I made the same mistake buying a cheap Amazon kit. All the components were substandard and I could have saved money and gotten better equipment had I learned just a little more first. I ended up replacing 99% of the equipment I bought by my second grow.

It can be a steep and expensive learning curve sometimes. Good luck man.
