I have 3 plants in the same tent, planted/flowered same time, same strain (Super Skunk from same seed packet), same nutes, same light/humidity/temps. The other 2 plants are happy as pigs in sh!t, this one plant is not. Pics of the other plants show the difference...

Plant watering to much heat n air flow may be hot boxed. Or not enough light to much heat
Either some sort of deficiency or just strain related. I've seen some low yielding strains/phenos before.
It's only 4 weeks into flower.
See #7 above. By itself, dunno what to expect, but compared to the other 2 plants, something has gone askew... Pic was taken on same day/time. It’s not tent-location specific as branches in SCROG are all over the place. It’s definitely the plant itself...

Much more comprehensive explanation: https://www.rollitup.org/t/3-plants...g-like-champs-one-is-not-help-please.1033973/
 
You check for pollen sacks? Pretty early for browning pistils unless you have been handling them.

Not handled much, but had to re-SCROG 2 weeks into flower. But same for all 3 plants, and the other 2 are fine.

have checked for pollen sacks, nothing found. But will go check again!
 
All 3 plants are the same Super Skunk, in BioBizz light soil with BioBizz nutes. The other 2 plants are great, using same tent/nutes/light. That’s what’s confusing me
Don't matter about food really , 1 might lake more food than the others , that's for you t judge
 
Take a cutting of the mutant and keep it alive. Maybe the smoke will be mutant as well. Or maybe it will double in size in the last 2 days and you might want to breed with it.

Always look at the bright side of life...
IT'S A FREAKY MUTANT!!!
Hmmmmm, will it make ME a freaky mutant if I smoke it???
:twisted::twisted::twisted:

And if it DOES make me a freaky mutant, it needs to make EVERYONE one!
 
Just seems like a pheno issue
Yeah, probably...

In my pursuit of answers, I have stumbled across one or two similar-ish looking Super Skunks on some grow diary sites, so it's not a crazy weird unheard-of mutation. However, they were typically from first-time or novice growers (which I am as well), so either it's a pheno issue or we made the same mistakes (not wholly unlikely).

But again, if all 3 plants were the same, ok whatevs! But the fact that 2 are perfect and one is weird, in the same tent with same lights/temps/humidititties/nutes/ph/airflow/etc, leads me to think it's pheno more than eff-up!
