Where are your lights at?
Put a gentle fan on it to make the stem stronger.

I see overwatering, probably from lack of good drainage in the pots.
Put your light at 15 inches above the plants.
Put something under the pots for airflow. They can not sit in runoff water.

That light is probably only 500w actually.

If your light has a VEG and a BLOOM switch then each side is only about 450w for a total of 900, but they way they add them, its listed as a 1000w.

I figured since its FFOF soil after a few waterings nutes would risen off. And i made the mistake in watering every 2 days for the first 2 weeks upon realizing it i just had them dry and started normal watering which is now 5 to 6 days until dry. It just hit 4 weeks veg so i did feed them both making the mistake on feeding same amount as to Shorty for BB. Stunning her again. So i let her be with water from now on. I was planning on feed the big one every 2 weeks. Should i?

Pot up in smaller increments, it is hard to judge watering needs in large pots. Lift and feel the weight is better than the finger. Your roots go deep and maybe in wet soil when you water..hence the over watering..The pots I have in the pic of mine are the 3rd pots these plants have been in and 1 more to go into 3 gallon. I only go to 5 gallon when I veg over 2 months.

No. You should not be feeding in soil. Soil IS food.
You feed in coco, not soil. Soil is natural. The only thing you add other than water is MBE's. (Microbes, Bacteria, Enzymes)
There are specific ways to do this.

You have FF dirt. They changed their formula and it's not that good anymore. It used to be the good stuff but ....
FF needs this added to it;

One of the forum sponsors has a great sale right now.

2026 New SF1000D 100W Dimming LED Grow Light For 2x2'

Bridgelux LEDs Spider Farmer SF1000D full spectrum LED grow light with dimming control and high efficiency, and ideal for beginner indoor growers.
www.spider-farmer.com

Be sure and read the watering articles I posted above.

The new method to know when to water is this;

Get one like this:

Soil & Plant Moisture Meter AM Conservation MM071 - Case of 12 Minimum

Soil & Plant Moisture Meter AM Conservation MM071. Use analog-style moisture meter to determine if plants require water. Available at Conservation Mart for low prices and fast shipping.
www.conservationmart.com

Poke it into the pot about 1/4 up from the bottom and test the soil for moistness. Water slowly until it shows the water getting to the meter then stop. It's full.
