Subbing up
They all looks good dude, there's is always one left behind, i have had the same on both my grows, one lady running behind the others. Are you watering with a good run off or doing tang's idea of watering small but often ?

Trying the no run off method. Have been feeding daily but the girls were looking thirsty this morning so I'm gna start doing it every 12 hours

I tried that method at the start of my first, didn't work for me, was never quite sure they where getting enough and i got fed up of doing it every day. I was using 25ltr pots, had it dialed in the end with every 2 days from about week 3-4 (just before the stretch started), that's when they drink for England, i had an AK49 on the last grow that drank and extra 2ltr compared to the other 2 plants.
The way I test is to do the lift the pot method...if she's light she needs water.

Yeah I have been wondering whether they're getting enough of everything. Have been lifting the pots several times a day but I don't know if I've been letting them get too light.

The last few days the taller cream mandarine and particularly the colorado cookies have been very droopy come morning feed time. They perk back up over the day but does that mean they're really thirsty?

Also if the pots feel light a couple of hours from lights off, should I water then or wait til they've had a sleep (which I have been doing)?

yes, yeas and yes... if they are droopy they so need water., I think Tang idea is great if you live in your grow room and can be there for the pants all day long but if you need to leave it for more than lets say 12 hrs you need to make sure they have water for at least 24hr to be safe. I would do a full drench on the next few waters and work out your 20% run off so you are prepared to leave them a longer period of time.
Like I said for mine I had it dialed in that I watered every 2 days (once they started drinking loads) at a set time (most days just after the kids went to bed). This meant I knew they had every thing they needed until my next visit, I could walk away for 24 - 48hr and be safe...this came in handy just before Christmas, I went out and got real special and couldn't even climb the ladder to the grow room for a day and a bit. Luckly I had charged the girls up before I got on it and I dragged them out for over 48hrs...The AK 49 was super thirsty but not drooping.
I water when I can really, I know they say just as they wake up but I go with when it fits into my schedule for the day. Sometime in the morning before I go to work (just before the lady's get lights out), but most of the time its about 7pm at night and the lady's have been awake 4-5hrs.

I did what I thought you meant and ended up giving myself a sideways avatar[emoji23] [emoji23]

I'm on tapatalk if that makes a difference

Day 35 update

Cream mandarine [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG]

This one's doing me proud. I've barely touched her. Tied down a couple of branches but that's it. 42cm tall now, budding up nicely and drinking about 800ml a day.

Cream mandarine [HASHTAG]#2[/HASHTAG]

This one's coming along slowly. She has been defoliated and pony tailed several times to try and get some light penetration. Noticing a very strange smell whenever I touch the leaves of this one...almost like a spicy sausage! Definitely meaty...[emoji23].
She's about 26cm short and I'm giving her around 600ml a day.

And finally we have the dp cookies. I have upped her feeding considerably but she's still going all floppy on me.
Lights are off between midnight and 4am. I feed at 5 and again in the evening if needed.

Sad cookies in the morning

Later that day

Another thing I noticed was all the smaller tops have been showing a good few days now but they're still not fully facing up yet. Growing a bit sideways. I dunno, seems odd to me.

I will be adding carboload, big bud, and guanokalong to the regime soon and finishing with overdrive. I also have some canna pk13/14 but can I even use that as well as overdrive?

Fantastic! The tall one is going to be a monster.
