The buckets drain hella good dirt holds good moisture probably to much but I think the big one is still super stressed I dont wanna water and more cause if smaller one doing good shouldn't other one different plant and unknown strain might be one of those difficult plant to grow

Well if I dont train to be more out then up would be more space for light means bigger colas right? Or does it matter as much

its not just about more light.
yes your plant gets better light but its also about efficient growing.
a plant with even coloas grows better due to even distribution of fluids.

you want the same amout of uptake to all the branches.

Go deep around the inside of the pot with a pencil or probe to aerate and dry the subsoil. Looks good. Bag soils can always use a little extra coco coir and perlite.

I wait for 3 nodes, then top. Do this in 3 rounds to make 8 colas, mainlined obviously. 8 week veg and they're only about 45cm with scrog and I can comfortably keep the lights 50cm away from the tops. I use an infra red probe to cross check the temperature.

To train them, I use those rubber coated wires to spread them out at 90degrees. They naturally fan out after that, I put a 2" mesh over them to hold it down. and then another 5" one once they stretch. I try to just leave 2 layers of canope only and remove all the smaller stems. Just keep any from the 5th node up. Unless light is getting to the buds they are fluffy and I believe this to be inefficient.

Not a problem, the problem as you know is the bottom is too wet and needs air.

The roots will regrow. But if you leave them sat in water they will turn brown, then black and it will spread very quick. Mould always does.

Looks like the soil is a little hot (rich in nutrients) for them and there is some transpiration issues. Do you have a circulating fan on them? what is your humidity? Are you feeding Nutes and if so at what PH and PPM?
