if the substrate had readily available nutes and one plant is smaller, it's probably genetics. it's tough to be certain of anything at this point and given the available information. the size of the plant v pot is the reason it takes a week to dry out. i don't think this is due to elevated RH%. You may find the time quickly changes in the next few weeks as the canopy gets larger. Those are pretty big pots for the size of plants. i wouldn't worry about a 6-7 days too much as it is temporary. the slightly long time it takes to dry might invite fungus gnats, et al. If you can, get some product with Bacillus Thurgenisis (israelis), aka BTi -- i butchered the species half, but you will recognize from this - there's another syllable in there. It is a bacteria that is food-safe and will kill many kind of larvae. it may take some time to colonize after watering it in. So, it's something you should start after the seedling stage as opposed to reacting to a problem in the moment (but still works eventually). It's the "easy button" for avoiding anything larvea-based. nutes.. depends on how hot that soil is. I'd wait for a hint of deficiency before starting to ramp up your nutes -- in future you'll have a better idea when to jumpstart this, if you buy the same products and the products have decent consistency, of course. i would say #2 could use some fertilizer -- can never be sure in pics.. is that a blueish look to leaves? that's P-def, if so. Assuming it isn't extremely hot soil, which opens the door to lockout and many possibilities as the cause without more information. But, the difference in stature could still be genetics. the resulting phenotypes you see of autoflowers are more volatile more times than not. There is not enough info to give you proper advice on fertilization needs. Remember it is always easier to add, and difficult to remove or dilute... be patient before adding anything. get a leaf symptom chart for reference - google image search. soil is a game of balance.. observe and react, and do better next time until it's smooth to the end with minor hiccups possible. you'll need to ramp up fertilization over time to some 'full' dose relative to your substrate and environment that will finish it out healthy and strong.

Do ur best to get humidity lower with better air exchange in and out of the grow space, other than that dont worry. Once my seedlings are established I only water when plants look a bit droopy in veg. its better for them to be a bit mean and let them go hunting for water in veg so roots get bigger. If your only watering every 10 days thats fine. Just water with less each time and it should drop to every 7 days. But honestly dont worry how often ur watering if plant looks happy then keep doing what ur doing. I rarely water more often than once a week unless its over 30C here. Indoors I ran drip feeders or hand watered a few liters per plant per week in veg so ur pretty much around the right mark. lower humidity and better air flow would help, but if u cant fix it then chill, and stick to doing what looks like is working just fine. Plant does have those very lush looking leaves that comes with slight over watering thou, so eventually u are going to have to fix this as humidity in the 60's or higher in flower will be mold city. But for now just be carefull not to use too much water each watering and i agree plant will be ok.

Do you have a fan going? Definitely need to keep the air moving in such high humidity... and then don't worry about how often your plants need water - wait until they're dry and give them some! They'll be fine!

Hey. As you are growing in a big pot and have young plants they really do drink very little. Once you are getting there feeds and then water to follow up and you are a week 10 days per feed is fine with young plants. You'd be surprised at how long holds nute residue and follow up feeds are like mini feeds. And then 5-6 days drying, your plant is constantly feeding. I'd be worried if you weren't getting growth and the soil was dry. As the plants get bigger you'll notice how much they drink, for instance the first 5wks my hydro zkittlez couldn't hold more than 200ml without run-off now I can push it to 1.7 and up to 2l when I let the 24hr feeding period lapse a little. As she is an auto make sure you introduce micro nutes any good micro/sensi cal mag extra or any decent cal mag from Amazon will help and dose according to your plants needs. Some autos will have how much of A % of ruderails is in your auto the more RR the more an auto needs micro nutes. Good luck with the rest of your grow.

You're all good smoke a fatty and relax. Give some Mag (epsom salts) or CalMAg supplement to the one with leaves who have chlorosis on margins. Raise your light. Everything looks good, relax and smoke an other fatty. It's all good baby baby...

I don't understand what the question is? Could try to water with less liquid if you want to water more frequently. When I grow my young plants only need water once a week till they start to fill their own pots. Granted I grow in soil. I also do not see anything wrong with your plants, you could maybe allow the humidity get to 55-60%?? 69 seems a bit high to me. Best Of Luck!
