In all honesty bud its the first time ive tried it @Bill284 mentioned it to me so I tried it since he is a jedi grower 
Well, proper watering is more like really soak the pot so the soil can't hold any more water, then let the plant use it all up before watering again. You may very well be the exception to most growers who overwater their plants, in that yours may be underwatered.
There is some confusion about watering to runoff since many soils, especially peat based ones, become hydrophobic after they dry so any water you give them initially will find the quickest route out if the pot. But that doesn't mean the pot is properly watered. Coco has different rules.
If you've not read @Emilya 's thread on proper watering, you can find it Here. the first page or two give you the basics, some of which is updated and changed slightly later on in the thread, but it is well worth the read.

I just fed her last night like bill said and gave her week 4 full strength of nutes and this is what she looks like today... How did she go from looking basically healthy except for 3 or 4 bottom leaves to this in 24 hours!?

I think I'm just going to chop this one up as a loss and start over and learn from my mistakes.

So do you think sometimes I may have waited too long? Can plants come back from this then?
Feelin positive about the new growth on the first 1 after a good feed yesterday. Only a couple of brown spots on the 2nd but seems to be growing 3rd 1 im not holding much hope but see how she goes
You've got some canoeing going on on the leaves. How is yor environment, too much heat?I just fed her last night like bill said and gave her week 4 full strength of nutes and this is what she looks like today...

Third one looks like maybe a bit of a calcium deficiency with the brown spots. Odd that it's mostly that one and I assume you're feeding them all the same stuff?Feelin positive about the new growth on the first 1 after a good feed yesterday. Only a couple of brown spots on the 2nd but seems to be growing 3rd 1 im not holding much hope but see how she goes
The color on the new growth looks good. I wouldn't give up on them just yet.
And, is it possible for you to slide that last one out of its pot and show us a picture of the roots? It's possible you are getting close to needing an up-pot.
And what kind of mix are you growing in?
The mix im growing in is biobizz light mix peat based medium first time ive used it. The 3rd 1 used to be the best 1 until maybe 4 days ago when it started declining. Ill try bit later on with lights on m8. Thanks for your input

EM;s post on watering has got to be the "Most-read ever" or something I think she needs an award
It's a good one. She actually tracks it and her statistics seem to back it up.EM;s post on watering has got to be the "Most-read ever" or something I think she needs an award

hey bud waiting on a link to greenhouse pics quick question what arew your thoughs on Calmag that can also be used as a foliar spray will that hep with cal/mag def ? also can you have a lockout and have perfect PH ? I water and feed everything between 6.2 to 6.6 aiming for 6.3 and Ocean forest starts at a good ph from the start. I under stand how a P overdose can cause a lockout. does every lockout change your ph?
Thx Bud hope ya had a great weekend

Ive never used calmag as a foliar spray buddy so i couldnt tell you an honest answer on that 1. Im still finding my feet getting back into things so if I was you i would ask one of the more experience guys on here but that is a good question ide like to know the answer to aswell. Sorry i couldnt be of much help.
Might have some life back in these yet. Can see a little colour coming back. Slight tip burn in the poorly girl cant quite see in the pic i dont think but hopefully theyve turned a corner now i hope. 
.
And, how about the roots? Can we have a gander at them??
When I up pot this week al upload them when i do all in 1 sweep. Dont want anymore bumps in the road at this point if I cant help it.
That's actually what I was getting at, wondering if they were getting root bound and needed an up-pot.
