Hey guys first time indoor grower here an trying to get some clarity on some of my plants! First pics are of my 2x4 400w led ufo light with two fans an temp an humidity stays around 81- 73 humidity 55 to 58! All plants are grown in fox farm potting soil with perlite added to them! I thought I over fed so I flushed the ones in the 2 by 4 set them outside for a few days an brought them back in an they seem to be doing better then the ones in my 4x4!
Second set of pics is of my 4x4 an wanna know is it over watering as well or a mute problem 4x4 has 2 Mars hydro ts1000 an a vivosun 300!l w light as wel added the 300 watt light after the plants were showing signs of stunted growth also the last water I fed the 4x4 plants with general hydro nutes ml by gallon 5 bloom 2 an 2 of the other nutes with 1 ml of cal mag an don’t know what’s wrong with them prior feedings we’re not much lower than that! I usually water every Monday an that’s it! But last watering since it was flower I watered more than usually First 7 pics is 2x 4 only 2 plants an next is all 4x4

Your once a week watering may be part of the issue. How often do you visit your girls? How light are your pots when you water? Do you water to run off, or just throwing water at them?
Your first 7 pics look fine. The difference is probably the sun vs an led. The others look dried out.

I visit them everyday an when I saw them droop I thought it was to overwatering the posts are considerable light compared to when there watered I do not water to run off since there in fabric pots an if I do it’s very little coming out

You should still water till runoff. Water seldom but water well. I water almost half a gallon per pot every 3 days or so. 3gal pots. Then when they're light, I know to water again.

Do you have saucers under your fabric pots? Those fabric or "smart" puts will need significantly more water than your plastic pots, they have ridiculous air exchange and will evaporate faster. Get a feel for how heavy the planter is after a good watering and water again at about half the weight. Your girls dont run on a strict schedule and will tell you what they need. It is our job to interpret what they are telling us. I recommend getting ed Rosenthal's book. It is a bit dated but the info is gold.
