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..)

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...
