One wash is bubbling the other ain't

Hi both washes were mixed the same but one wash seems to be not fermenting it's early days but is this normal?

If they were the same should be acting the same. When you say bubbling, you don't mean the airlock do you?

You do mean the actual wash is fizzing cause you listened/looked at it?

Yeah, check if its fizzing, a badly fitting lid and the air lock wont go at all. When doing elderflower wine I've had one take off and the other not - I just mixed the 2 ferments back and forth between the buckets and the yeast got them both working.
