Not branching out

I have to plants growing side by side both get the exact same treatment. White Widow and The White Og. Topped both once and have been doing some LSTing. The WW is branching out nicely and I have almost 30 tops growing good many the same height as the main tops. Can’t say the same for the WOG. Every node on the bottom is getting good light but each node still has small very small growth like a fresh node would have. Any ideas of what can be causing this or can it just be the strain ? Appreciate any help
WW on the left and WOG on the right

Maybe just an odd pheno. I only grew out a few of Seedsman's The White OG a few years ago, but pretty sure they all ended up bushy and fairly stretchy.

Adding some red spectrum might help for streching. Might be stunted by nitrogen too. Raising temperature-humidity could help for a start. But those are assumptions without data. Lights? Humidity? Age of medium and plants? Nutes?

I’m using a marshydro tsw2000 at 75% hanging about 20in front plants. Humidity stays at a constant 55-60rh. At first my soil was an old bag of FFOF I had from a couple years ago but plants weren’t looking too good so I removed all soil and mixed with coco coir and perlite. They have since been looking way healthier. Nutes I’m using right just are Grow big it’s what I also had from a couple years ago. I had been tight on funds when I started this grow and did with what I had. I do have a new bag of FFOF coming in and will be transplanting into 5 galling pots with some perlite only and no nutes for the next month after transplanting.

The Grow big...fluids? Would not consume over one year old opened bottles. Metals and heavier elements accumulate and crystallize.

As thats true for some maybe I have never experienced this. I am using grow big from 2019 and its fine, no solids or crystals.

I have old shit from years and years ago and it still works fine (use it on my ornamental flowers and such)

What light do you have? How far away? What setting or % is it set at?
I would snip the very tip of these highlighted branches off, those are the plants Apex right now, which means it's focusing most energy into the taller more established branches, chop the tip off, the auxin will spread to other branches and stop telling those branches to be dominant. Hopefully that makes sense.


Those little branches in the middle at the base of the plant may never grow big and strong, if that is the case, you would want to base your plants foundation off the highlighted branches and strip away all that spindly stuff. You would only need to top the plant in 2 more rounds to have around a 16 cola plant.
