Any thoughts on why one is growing short and low compared to other two?

Got 3 bubblegum seeds growing in hydro. Ph is on point. Similar across board. Roots are fine. Stained but not rotten. There is a solid root mass on all 3 but this one is looking short and tight compared to the other two.

Is it just a genetic issue or is there something I’m missing? Too much nutes? Would it cause strange short growth without burning? Like I said ph has been on point, no root rot, water temps are great. It’s not getting any more or any less light than the other two. Same strain.

Might just be variation.
I got one white widow, normal size, one bonsai, ......it happens... It will come good.

Yeah that’s the way I’m leaning. There is nothing different on the 3 plants aside from the way they look up top. 3 in the same conditions same nutes same lighting. Roots are stained but are healthy and plentiful. Only thing I can decipher is it’s probably a genetic trait.

Edit: just hoping she takes off when flower flips. I’ve seen some ugly ducklings take off.
 
Could've sworn I replied to this earlier?
It's N tox though mate, they've all got it. Nutes are too strong.
Should be around 300ppm plus your water at pH 5.7ish.
Nothing to worry about though, just drop the nutes and they'll sort themselves out soon enough :)
I did notice some signs of N tox. Could that be why the one is growing low and slow? I am doing a rez change today so I’ll back it off a bit.

Not sure what your feeding but I'd cut it at least in half mate. 300ppm is all they want right now.
N tox does indeed slow the growth. Can stop it altogether too. I've done it a couple times and it can take 2-3 weeks to recover if your unlucky.
