one strain, 2 totally different smells?

OK i have 2 g13 afghan mafia plants that have been in flower now for 38 days .
the question i have is why or how did i get totally different smells from each plant . i even had the wife take a good whiff from each plant and she told me that each one was different even to the point as to tell me that the one smelled like juicy fruit gum and the other one smells like a skunk.
i to think the same thing .
the tallest off the 2 smells really sweet and fruity and the other smaller plant smells kinda pungent and skunky.

the 2 plants in question. wish i had scrach and sniff pics but this will half to do for now .

very common actually when your growing crosses, the plant structure & high can be totally different too. One of the reasons Dutch seeds are so expensive is they've taken years of breeding to produce a stable uniform product from seed by inbreeding.

When you buy a strain of weed it still has different genetics in it. So this is common, you caould have the one strain but each one could have other plant genetics in it to give you different pheno types.

Yeah man they're called phenotypes, different versions of the same strain. Just like with humans, two parents can produce very different children. If you buy an unstable strain, you will see a lot of variation in your plants. That's part of the reason some seeds cost so much more than others, the more stable the better. Skunk #1 is an example of a stabilized hybrid, you'll basically get the same Skunk#1 even if you were to plant 100 different Skunk #1 seeds. The fact that one of your plants smells like juicy fruit and the other like skunk gives you a little info about the plants possible lineage, meaning that one of the parents may have been a sweeter fruitier variety and the other a skunk variety. This is also why the selection of a clone mother is so important, you pick the pheno that you like the best, make it the mom, and the clones will be identical to the mother, no variation there.

well thanks you all for the knowledge you have just given me
it explans so much when people dont beat around the bush to tell you something they have no clue as to what they are talking about .

this is how "clone only" strains are found. that one unique plant pops up and someone decides to keep it.

now i wish i would have cloned . but i do have some g13 afghan mafia male pollen that i might try and make some seeds with. then maybe i might have a chance to keep most off the genetics from each plant . yea nae?

Well you can't exactly keep *most* of the genetics, if it works anything like human genetics, they should have dominant and recessive traits. That is, if the mom is not very potent but the dad is, some seeds will grow into potent plants and some weak. The magic is, there should be at least one seed that has the best traits from each plant. That is, if you had a tasty, quick finishing plant that is kind of weak and a low yield, and you crossed it with a gross tasting, slow finishing plant that is strong and has a high yield, you should end up with at least one seed that will produce a tasty, quick finishing, strong, and high yielding plant. Or you just cross two plants that have the best of all worlds, grow out the seeds and pick your favorite phenotype. Then you clone that bitch. Man, growing pot is interesting.

aint it though?? LOL.

my sister and i have different eye colors. see wat im saying?

well at the vary least ill have more afghan mafia seeds that i don't half to pay for .
