Not Maturing The Same?

So this is going to be my 5th harvest ever! The following pictures will be my strawberry cough from Dutch Passion(9 week flowering period). Started from seed they are 12 weeks old now, flowering for 5weeks total as of today. Been playing around with growing techniques, mostly topping and bending. I've topped one of my girls three times to form a manifold,4 main colas ,explained here. altho
ugh i left lots on growth on the bottom as i am still learning. (https://www.growweedeasy.com/mainlining-nugbuckets). The rest I topped twice, to form 3 main colas. I'm still really new. Anyways, the plant that I topped less is developing buds like how i expected, but the manifold is lagging and producing buds I haven't seen before. can anyone tell me if this is due to so many bud sites causing a slower bud time? Pics below, first plant is "normal" manifold is second and my concern.

TL;DR Will all the bud sites i've created slow bud maturity and growth compared to my plant with significantly less bud sites? Pics below.

This is the manifolded plant, the concern I have is the buds are fairly different.

I think the second one is reverting back to veg...
When you start to get single leaf blades, bubbly pistols; something is off and looks like light leak

Side by side, Good one on top, plant in question on bottom

First off thanks for the reply! really appreciate it.
That would be so strange... I have 8 plants currently in the same room! 3 of my harvests have been with this set up and no troubles like that at all.

Maybe heat stress? it's 27 degress celcius in the room but these have stretched up a little higher than the rest of the plants. I have a 1000watt hps

27C is nothing, it’s when u get into mid 30n higher u get airy buds. Pretty sure is some sort of light leak or super cropping . When a clone was taken from a 1-2week flower .

So I checked my room for light leaks and (like a doofus!) I had a power bar in the room that had an orange light in the power switch...! Never even occurred to me! Lol any time i went in my room I had a green light so i just never saw this little bit of light. I taped over it and sealed a entrance to my room off with black curtains just to be sure, although all my other plants are doing great, maybe this will save my big one. Thanks a lot for the input!

That little orange light shouldn't be enough to cause reveg. It can slow growth.

Different plants mature at different rates.

Thanks for the reply ! Ya, and it would be strange if it only affected 1 of 8 plants ... But i have to cross my Ts and dot my I, ya know? Ive just never seen buds like this ! As long as it doesnt look diseased im happy to wait it out

Yea for sure. The single blade thing usually is reveg but I've also seen it with no light leaks.

Grow enough of them you will see all kind of strange things from twins from one seed to mutants.

Ive had similar light leak issues but it affected certai8n strains worse than other,kinda odd if those are both SC.Needless to say it was a learning experience for me although the plants never really recovered(small yields, scrawny buds.

this is my first go at a full room! most plants I've ever done is 2 blooming at a time, just to make sure I understood the plant and how it buds, etc. so 1 funky plant out of 8 is good for me so far

Did the buds look like mine?

Hi 2hyper,
Didn't you say that the plant you're worried about is a manifold plant. Seems to me Nugbucket comments about recovery time in his main-lining tut. Seems most logically that the plant you trained the most is slow to flower.
