is there a difference!

10 days in and the Platinum OG is looking good but the XJ-13 looks week and small... Hope it will perk up!
Any suggestions for helping the XJ-13 would be great
the 2 small plants are the XJ-13, they are the same age and getting the same treatments that the OG is getting.

I believe the problem is that you're not evenly distributing the water throughout the medium. Overall, your plants look quite thirsty.

The system is on auto still trying to figure the system settings out... yet, the OG is thriving and the XJ13 is not! seams strange? I do add water and Fora-nova grow (2 TBS per gallon, 2 gallons even dispersant over the 11 plants every 2-3 days, and some sweetener 1 time a week).
Anyone using the Claber 8053 Oasis 4-Programs/20 Plants Garden Automatic Drip Watering System? I am trying to figure out how much water 11 plants get on the 10mday cycle?

I do, give them a good soak with a watering can.
You may also have lockout issues in those two plants a well, most likely a result of the soil getting so dry.
I would flush at least those 2 for sure. Run a least a gallon or so of water through each plant.

Personally, I think your trouble is in the automatic system. Auto Systems have no feeling and rely on your ability to set them properly. I would turn the Auto System OFF and water the girls by hand. This will give you more understanding concerning the needs of your plants. I'm not opposed to using a drip/watering system that is dialed in, but in my experience of growing, MJ plants become very fiesty if watering schedules and amounts are not correct.

I would also recommend moving your lights a bit closer, the space between your nodes is a bit more than it should be as this stage of growth.
One last piece of advice, I would just water by hand. A watering system like you have is either for hydro, a MUCH larger garden where you can't access every plant or SoG. For soil growing it is better to give them a good soaking and then let them dry out a bit, rather than just have a trickle going. You need to make sure that moisture is getting to every part of the pot, not just in the root zone.

the one strain needs more nutes than your other strain. I have often encountered this. It can be a bit frustrating if the mix is perfect for most plants and there is one nice strain you don't want to not have which shows a deficiency.

Just ignore it or see if you can feed them 2 a higher nutrient mix, looks like they need nitrogen.
