Need some guidance on these autos in hydro.

Thanks in advance! Sorry for writing a book. Here’s my issue:

2 autos, identical care, one well into flower & started 2 weeks ago. The other seemed to start but then just stopped and didn’t do much for over a week. She has early pistols & is very slowly stretching… but she’s slow and way behind.

I decided to increase the PPM and my Nute schedule has me dropping the Grow Nute ratio to half so that the flower nutes are now double the grow nutes. That seems to have gotten her going again although very slowly. The one in flower is now 5 inches taller & gaining everyday. It’s day 46 so that’s nearly 7 weeks without any real flowers on the other. These are Critical Purple Autos so maybe have a longer flowering period.

Should I just be patient with the slower girl or should I switch my light to 12/12? I really don’t want to reduce my yield.

If I try 12/12 and it makes the other girl pop… can I then go back to 18/6 once she’s going?
Also, I’m in hydro and have been reading that once in flower I should keep my PH closer to 6.2 to make P and K more available. If I do that, should I still bring it down to say 5.9 and let it drift up to 6.2, or should I just aim to stay around 6.2 for her now that she’s flowering? So many questions! Thanks very much.

Note - plant in front is same strain, planted in super soil a week after the others. Seems she’s maybe going to be slow to flower as well. 0AA9BF7D-476C-4741-89B7-0925A5D6347A.jpeg

thanks, but that doesn’t answer a single one of my questions…. ?

He's saying your proposed changes won't catch the slower girl up. That siblings differ in growth habit unlike clones.

As for changing your pH I wouldn't both a 5.9 to 6.2 swing give or take will make the necessary nutrients available. Based on how your plants look I wouldn't change the grow nutrient percentage for another week or two.

Anyway good luck, your plants look fine.

Thank you. That’s what

Ditto. The answer was correct so what do I add. It happens all the time. Stick with the more well known genetics. There are folks out there peddling garbage. New strains must be grown out several times and the strongest plants only are allowed to breed. I see variations in the most stable phenos. :weed: bongsmilie

Thank you for actually answering a question. I already know about them not growing similar… my questions had nothing to do with that. I asked.. should I switch to 12/12 or be patient. Finally someone answers the actual question. And thanks so much for being so helpful as to maybe provide a tiny bit of insight on my other questions… such as

So the answer to 1 question is : don’t switch the lights. Got it!! Geez. You people on here are so ridiculous. Nobody can answer the other questions???

1) if I do switch to12/12… can I switch them back after a period.

2). Should I keep PH at 6.2 or still let it drift.

You're asking why one plant is different than the other, right? Well, do you look just like your siblings?

Where do you see me ask that even one time????
Please… show me. Every question I asked is written in plain English with a question mark after it. Show me where I once asked about them growing differently. I’m the one that states that’s what was happening!! I already know the WhY!! I didn’t ask about the why?!? Geeeeez!! Nobody can read?!?!,

Who cares!! Didn’t ask. Read about different phenos all the time here. Guess in the future I’ll just have to dumb shit waaaaaay fuckin down.. everyone here is a moron
