Different phenotypes show different characteristics as you grow them out. That fat one probably just has more indica influence in it.

As for the leaves problem, how often has this happened? Just once? It looks similar to the way leaves droop when they need water. Did you water them and then leave for work?

The fact that she perks up once the day starts makes me want to rule out overwatering. The drooping and then perking up effect could just be the plants natural response to stimuli in a cyclic manner. Fancy word for it is 'nyctinasty' which you can google for some interesting biology and you'll better understand what I'm talking about.

It may just be as simple as blaming genetics as to why that plant is behind the others because the plant looks fine besides a minuscule amount of nute burn on the tips which imo is not a big deal.

' the plants miss you?'
keep your babes on 18/6
ensure you have a small fan
to allow the plant to breathe

Thanks for the replies guys.
ahh I see the different phenotype now.. the one plant got the huge fans compared to the others...

Thanks VOS ill add another fan this week , there is only one currently.
Ill check out your auto blog too.

Yeah I dont think its overwatering either... I never heard of nyctinasty I need to do a little more reading about this to fully understand but sounds like a probable cause...

This has been happening for about week.
I gave them full strength base nutes 2 waterings ago,
and Just calmag bigbud and budcandy the watering 4 days ago..
Im watering again tomorrow..Should i add nutes? or should i lay off seeing that the tips are burnt...

So i should only water my autos 20-30% my 3 gal pot volume once a week?
Shat i have been doing until run off every time.. i did notice the leaves droop for the day probly every watering, perking up after awhile.. i figured thats just wat happens when you water them... so after watering there should be no droop if done correctly?
