Different phenotypes will grow different ways.
You can try LST to keep the canopies on the same plane but that can be tricky as well. Especially when you have a sativa dominant growing next to an indica dominant.

Yea Bro; even identical genotypes create variant phenotypes.. :confused::hump: Go on YouTube and check out "Pruning", "Topping", "LST," ie low stress training - you're going to want to keep your plants at a level height by spreading them out over a larger horizontal space; tis simple good fellow! I really dig this lady, Sarah Flowers or some shit; she has an LST method w/ hemp twine (post viewing: you can also tape the twine to the buckets) and she's got a nice pruning video. Reminds me of my neighbor when I was in 2nd grade... probably is.. GL

They are telling you LST will tie town the taller one to even out the canopy bud, its not too complex for beginners, there is a "insert image" button.

We know you don't know how to "LST" or "Prune" or "Top" - That's why you should go look it up. I suggest YouTube bro; because it has videos. There are even RIU members on YouTube w/ great videos. If you ask a question you'll probably get some responses that require you to learn new things.

Press the "Insert Image" button, or It's also in the "Go Advanced" Section. Hmm 1.5 feet in the first 3 weeks. Yea; sounds about right; about right in explaining why you don't have photos of your plants.

Yeah, it is probably abit too late to try and even up the canopy.

It is like you and your wife having 5 kids and you want all to be the exact same height and size. It isn't going to happen very often.
I usually put my shorter plants up on something like a crate or bucket to raise them up to the same height as my tallest.

Your plants look fine, but don't go picking off any leaves unless they are more than 50% damaged.

Also, you should be aware that they will pretty much double in size once you throw them into 12/12

Have a look at Uncle Bens gardening tweeks and pointers thread on this site - it's full of info worth considering

Good luck
