Feminized plant won't show sex?

Quick question for you all-

Is it common for plants of the same strain to begin their showing their sex at different times?

Three Northern Lights plants were planted at the same time- two femenized seeds and one regular seed. The regular seed and one of the femenized seeds, after 5 days of 12/12, had shown it's sex quite clearly, with very distinct and obvious hairs protruding from the nodes. The other femenized plant though is not displaying any signs of preflowers, after 11 days of being in the 12/12 cycle.

I know the common answer is "check for light leaks", but it seems that could not be the culprit here, as the two other plants are not displaying the same characteristics.

Thanks

I wouldn't be too concerned mate.
Within strains there are different phenotypes and this allows for variation between plants.
If it's a fem seed she'll show sex soon enough.
She's just obviously a little slower than the rest at doing so.

Just think of your sex'd plants as early puberty or fast metabolism. Most strains take 1-3 weeks to show sex and/or bud unless you have preflowers.

Thanks for the quick responses guys, I'll be keeping keeping an eye on her to see how it all develops.
