I think you should water to about 10-20% runoff every time you water. It helps to use a watering wand of some sort and to slowly water. If you give the plant 5 gallons of water aim for a half of a gallon of runoff and so forth. I wouldn't be surprised if the medium is unevenly watered which is why it is important to water thoroughly.The indoor plant does have a bit of coco in there, but the outdoor doesn’t! The nutrition I typically feed when they start looking hungry (color fades etc) and some water runs to waste under the indoor plant it’s lifted the outdoor isn’t it’s on the ground so that could be part of my problem on it but it’s the yellowing plant not the clawing
The way I see it is as the medium becomes drier, total salinity increases so you want to be sure you are getting runoff not only to avoid dry spots, but to make sure anything the plant isn't eating gets leeched out. If there is too much in there it will burn up the roots and you will see the damage on the foliage
One of the best things in growing that I've gotten into is automated watering. It's tricky to get set up, but once it's going it is so worth it. Not watering enough=not as much bud. Keep feeding all the way until harvest while practicing runoff and give it optimal light to maximize harvests
