I got a few cuts of Sundae Driver from a friend but when I harvest, my buds are very leafy compares to his. Can someone explains to me what would cause the buds to have more leaves than another.

Why dont you just ask him what hes doing? Environment, lights, nutes, stress... We know nothing about either of your grows so that's gonna be a tough one for anyone here I think :speechless:

We both run the same lights (GC 630 cmh) same nutrient plan (veg+bloom tap/hard). The only thing w can think of is the environment but I don’t think it’s that much different where it cause it to be more leafy. I asked him but he doesn’t know what would cause it since the strain came from the same mother plant. Hopefully someone who had experienced this can point it out for me.

Look awesome regardless but say environments were identical, I have seen cuttings taken from different parts top/bottom of the same plant grow differently. Yes, its weird.

Yes the pics are from my garden. I’m happy with the weight and size, it’s just a pain to trim so many leaves.

co2. If you are blasting them with co2 they will throw out a lot more leaf to deleaf vs not running co2. Only thing I can think of if you are on the same nutes. The only other thing would be more N on your side if using tap vs his unless you are on the same water supply.

Other's buds always look better:)Kidding:) There is strains(indicas)that are more leafy but the leaves are more sugar and the opposite-more "meat",less sugar on the leaves.I don't trim them too deep.What about the shaping,you can have few smaller tops and he-one bigger?Yours look really fine to me....:)

This. I’ve seen this happen bunch of times and forgot about it till I was watching a video of a guy growing wedding cake the other day. Same cut different looks. Happens.
I was linked to a few papers talking about how cloned plants can actually have DNA mutations. It’s been awhile but if your interested look into it. I’m sure I will be again just for heck of it.

How many plants are in your grow space and how many are in your friends grow space? Sometime if plants are too close together, they will grow more leaves to compete with the plant growing too closely next to it. It’s either that or you have better roots. Plants balance growth to their root zone. Better roots = more plant material.

Your buds are fine, and those leaves will smoke just fine as well.

I’m not positive bud. Just putting out another option. It actually be rather cheap to find out as getting them sequenced would cost around 20$-$40. If your that interested.

I see. Yea I’m thinking you wanted to know so suggested something to you or to anyone who is reading that wanted to know that it was possible cheaply. It’s 20$ for each specimen. I’m not selling anything though. Just letting know it is possible to find out...cheaply.

Oh I’m sure you understand but just to clarify if I was unclear...cuttings could be from same stem and have genetic mutations too.
