4 plants, 2 struggling 2 thriving fed same mix. leaves tacoing and bending down

Hey guys really need your help here. I have 4 plants side by side, 2 of them that are thriving are Auto Berry Bomb, the 2 that are struggling are Auto purple. All 4 are getting fed or have been getting fed 3.5g Maxibloom and 1ml of GH rapid Start. In terms of what water i was running 80% RO and 20% tap being that my Tap water is 650ppm. I just recently decided to cut my Maxibloom dose to 1.75g and eliminate the rapid start and only stick with RO water. What gives guys and why are they struggling.?

Two wrinkled ones look overwatered IMO.

to much nitrogen you got the claw and over watering with looks of things cut out the feed no need to feed yet there babys and get some cool air intake and air movement

get some proper nutes wtf is 3.5g feed should be measured in ml not weight

So you don't think their big enough to feed yet? I thought you are suppose to feed coCo from the very beginning? I'm just asking FYI not being defensive. And my ugorg I am using maxibloom is a powder solid nute

Ugorg there is a giant thread on icmag about maxibloom all the way through veg to flower. No need to be rude bro we r all here for the same reason thanks for your help

you said it yourself powder nute and you got that wrong you feeding it flowering nute not veg you need maxigrow

also id stick to ro water city water contains lots of shit take then out the water let them dry up then plain ro water for few days to clear the coco of feed then start to feed realy low with a ppm of less then 500 then slowly bulid up the ppm learn to tell what your plant needs whats good for one grower may not work for outhers

it should be very difficult to over feed and water in coco with the right nutes for coco

Okay can I feed straight RO or should I pH it? Also should I wait until cotelydons die until I feed? Thanks buddy

There is absolutely no need to name call

I agree with you on this, yet I would also add: What's good for one STRAIN may not work for others.
Thy I think this is a combination of a few things. Firstly, as ugorg stated, looks pretty heavily overwatered. Second, I'm sure somewhere along the line it's possible you saw someone using Maxibloom in veg, but I don't think it is a good idea (my opinion). Third, I would suggest making sure the drainage in your containers is substantial enough, don't be afraid to let the soil get dry, just don't let it go too long once it does. To be honest though, at this stage you could -get away with- using just ph balanced water and some plant food (I use miracle grow organic liquid plant food in veg).

Also, don't assume that because one dosage of nutes works for a certain strain that it will be good for a different strain. For instance, your Auto Berry Bomb might love all the nutes she can get, where as your Auto Purple might be very sensitive to anything but minute amounts. Don't be scared to mix 2 batches of solution (one for each strain). In my experience, a lot of purp strains are sensitive to the amount of butes you give them.

Do you have any air circulation (obviously not a main problem, not to familiar with a lot of diagnosing of nutes) i just use tap water but don't know the ppm...I just let it sit out for a day or 2....just don't over complicate things....I was told to KISS and I think you should do the same...also rule of thumb when the leaves go wider then the cup soon in need of transplanting. ....Thats just my 2 cents but I don't know much other people will be able to help better

Yup a good reference is that your roots are basically a mirror image of the top of the plant, so if your leaves go over the pot then you *should* transplant.
Also you might think airflow is a given due to it being outside, but just being in rest air doesn't mean fresh air is flowing. A number of factors could affect airflow, fences, walls, etc. Might be worth it to move it to another spot outside or raise it up a little. Sedentary air can actually allow mold to grow, even outside. Just give it a little thought.
