the smaller one is in a much larger container
having a small plant in a large container has its own set if potential issues so that's one reason they could look different
is this an organic grow?
did you buy the soil or build it? what type soil?
have you been using any fertilizers
do you check ph and EC?

theres a lot of potential issues and sorting it out exactly will be difficult
organic is a thing on its own and the success of it being 100% organic relies on the original soil amending
when you built your soil did you add anything for micro nutes.. suck as azomite, rock dust, or at least kelp meal?
also your ph is very low so you would have need to add some lime to bring it up
but at this point its too late for all that

im not an organic master
im just learning organics
but in my opinion you may need to scrap the idea of this grow being organic
then next time spend some more time (reading) getting your soil amended proper for a true organic grow
and maybe try and remedy the problem with fertilizer and silica to get your ph up

Soil PH is jacked up. 5.5-6 is hydro level. Soil PH is suppose to be 6.5-7. Particularly for calcium. Cal Mag is masking the problem on the other.

Watering with 7-7.5 ph should counteract the acidity. Are you adjusting the water after the nutes are added? Or before?
