Gaia Green organic. In soil and top dressed. Nothing else but some worm tea.
Gaia Green is one of the three I use for my organic grows and the plants love it. And always worm castings. I usually add more amendments though.
You said it's been 5 days since you've last watered. Are these in 3 gallon or 5 gallon pots?
What is the temperature in your grow room, and do you live in an area where it is starting to get cold out this winter? Or somewhere where the weather is nice

Have you tried exchanging the pots position?
I don't know where it could go other than the position it's in.
What I am guessing, unless its the position like another fellow grower mentioned, you over watered somehow it and your soil is holding the moisture, if you have smart pots, put a breeze on it so it drys faster, then see how the plant responds, dont let it dry completley.

What light are you using?
Do you water it at the end of your watering? Sometimes last plant takes all the recidue at the bottom of feeding, if it is not mixed well.. and takes a shot of ec..

Check all parameters are same, in the end if it is genetics only a real miracle can make it better.

Your Pheno might be sensitive to the parameters you are giving, but the others have a diffrent pheno resisting or reaponding well.
I have a 450-watt mars hydro light. Water when I'm done watering? I dont understand. I dont usually water in morn and water after work. Maybe need to start mornings

They are in 3 gallon fabric pots. They have never drooped in thirst.
My grow room ranges between 74 and 80. Its been 21 degrees here but I don't know how that would affect it.

Check EC run off from pot and PH run off, conditions must be all checked, usually there is something you are not noticing.

My guess is probably the soil is water logged, sometimes using organic when this happens aerobic microorganisims switch too anerobic bad micro organisms.. and also lock roots.

Let it dry, use soil meter (5 dolla ) and make sure when it dries you keep it in range. If ph is high push phosporic synthetic source (slowly) so it buffers if EC high flush with low ec..ppm.

There's no way your 3 gallon fabric pot in 75° average temperature is still moist after 6 days. With less growth than the other plant and if you were watering the same amount you definitely waterlogged your soil.
You want to try not to water right before lights going out, it can cause you to run into issues.
The reason why I was asking about the temperatures is because I used to have one of my tents up against the wall that was to the exterior, don't have the best insulation. You get the point.

Was the growth of the two the same until you topped?
Or was one always performing better than the other?

Just looking at the picture again, one Plant is a fair amount, larger than the other! I hope the big one is the one that is drying out the soil! I would expect different rates of dry back from different size plants! Probably just have to allow the smaller one more time between waterings! Both looking, pretty healthy, neighbor! In dope growing, one size doesn’t always fit all! Growing Aside, is the snow level still above you or are you starting to get hammered?🥶 Looks like they’re calling for 3 feet over the next several days in Mount Shasta!

I don't give them water until they are dry. When I lift the pot and it's light as air I water.
How about your drinking practices before you water?🍻😁
I don't drink but smoke like a chimney. Yes we are getting snow. Its really slushy as it has warmed up bit. Tonight it will cool down about 5 more degrees and snow again. I guess getting hammered with snow is subjective. I grew up here and seen some crazy stuff snow wise in my 60yrs.

Well it's definitely positioning. I placed one of my fans blowing at the pot to see if it helps. I never would have thought
Carefull make probably you had a stagnant air area.

To avoid this position your fans to create something of a small small tornado air movment heading up.. givig direction to the air and then it helps itself to hit all areas.. if you can understand what Im saying.

I think the moral of this whole story is, start with the simple, most obvious possibility and then work your way up to over thinking it! 😁🐒 Give them hell neighbor!

I have fans in opposing corners pointing in opposite corners Thinking this would create a swirl in the air. Is there a better way?

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet but the smaller plant might be scared to grow with what looks like a stick Bug near by...
