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

 

[HoltLucy]

They have 2 small fans on top and another on the bottom the lights are 1000w

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

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.

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

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 don't want to discourage you but I don't think your light is powerful enough. I veg under t5 fluorescent's and these front 4 are 1 month old in this pic as a comparison

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?

We are going to get her all fixed up, one step at a time.

Probably about 120w tops.

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;
