watering every day

hi guys, quick question. i have 4 plants going at the moment all afhgan skunk in 15 litre pots. and one plant literally needs water every day, i wake up and its all droppy. but the others get watered like every 3 days. what do you guys think.

Its maybe growing faster than the other plants thus needing more water?

I water/feed everyday. I use a metered amount that gets the plant to the next day at lights on...

Do you deliver the same amount to each?
How big are they?
What is the media?
Are the one's going 3 days....look less green and have purple stems?

It would be very weird to "me" that plants in the same media, of the same size and size pot. Would have such a big difference.

Are you watering because it is droopy, or because the pot weight indicates it needs watering? It's a good while since I grew, but I recall I would regularly get up in the morning and find some plants droopy, others not. A few hours later and they'd perk right up (was never an issue with water, as they were in DWC..)

they are growing in westlands soil with added johns inns. all around 80cm tall and about 5 weeks old. the other 3 are still green and healthy no purple stems. they have got a little mag problem tgat im trying to sort. think its just a thirsty plant lol. just iv never had a plant want water everyday. i feel the pot and when i water it about an hour later it perks up.

Anything else in the soil for drainage? Did you mix everything up real good prior to use?

Ive run heavier mixes of perlite to soil and the heavier the ratio (more perlite/drainage) the more id have to water similar plants.

When you water, do you let the water seep in a bit, then add a little more.. and so on. If the soil quality is low and youre watering too fast, the water can drain out via channels and miss the root system..

Or it could just be that plant is just a thirsty bitch!

It sounds like it's just a pheno difference then...... I have seen things like that in my time. Not often but, it does happen...
