I have 2 Blue Mystics that I planted at the same time, and I've been feeding them the same. I fed them both yesterday and now one of them looks SAD, any idea why?

Can you format this better? Can't see pictures and need more info.
I'm growing 2 Blue Mystic Autos and after feeding the other day the next morning one of them was very unhappy....
A cold front dropped temps about 10degrees, but wldnt that effect the other plants as well?
Planted tap roots september 30th
running Spydr600LED Light
5gal smartpots set on a base with 3 drain cups that capture runoff, so plant isn't sitting in its own drain water.
FFOF soil
I feed 1gal of RO water every other day.
Lights are on 24/7
I feed natural organics Cal/mag 5ml, BIO Marine 10 Ml, BIO BUD 5ml, BIO THRIVE 10ml ph'd to 6.5
humidity is around 48%
ppm in drain water was around 400ppm.

I never check the ph of the actual soil, just the water after I mix in the nutes.
I never check the ppm of drain water, but I just checked it and it read 415ppm, but that water had been in that drain reservoir for 4 days

could be many things. over water, they are awfully dark green maby nitrogen tox but I don't see the waxiness that comes with nit tox, ph may be causing lock out, salt lock out is another possibility, or root rot. easiest to check and fix is ph, so test the ph first. if that isn't it test the tds of the runoff second

with that info I would have to say it was over watered

The smart pots are very light in weight,and soil is drawn in about an inch or so from the sides & the soil is dry and does not stick to my finger when I check the soil. I've been growing for 3 yrs now, and I'm fairly confident that it's not overwatering. I grew this same strain last year with FFOF nutes, but I'm using Gen Organics on this grow.
Whatever the issue was, it only effected the one plant and not the other 2. Strange

You said temps dropped 10°? This could cause the soil to stay cool not allowing the plant to transpire moisture. Possible underwatering. Only other thing I can think of is a problem with your roots, root rot.

95% sure it wasn't underwatered. The weird thing is that I have 2 plants that are identical and what ever happened only effected the one plant and it happened about 8 hours after I fed them. 2 days later she was fine again....

Since it happened about 8 hours after a feeding, and it only affected one plant for about a day and a half, I think that maybe after I fed the first one maybe I let some of the nutes settle to the bottom and then when I refilled the container and added nutes for the other plant she got more of a dose of nutes than she could handle.
That's the best I can come up with anyway...

Lol i thought that to why i said maby salt lock out untill you said your using go nutrients. I have fed tripple strength with organics with no bad results (except to my wallet lol

Salt buildup and lockout doesn't cause droop like that. Droop like that is usually 1 of 2 things, moisture stress or root problems (bound/rot/damaged.)

Based off what you said it was just moisture stress.

Ok, but why would one have a moisture issue and not the other one? I also have a 3rd plant in there that's a Swiss Chz and I feed all 3 the same and only one got sick?
I just don't see how that cld be it, especially as adult plants 2.5 weeks into flower.
Just seems to me that if this was the cause it would have affected the othe Blue Mystic the same way.... I appreciate the feedback & I hope I'm not coming across as that guy who asks for help and then argues with everyone, because I honestly do appreciate everyone's feedback! I'm just trying to talk and think this thing thru.

Yea, I know, none of it really makes any sense too me.... if I had them in different pots, or under different lights, or different feed, but being how everything was exactly the same, that was all I could really come with. These 2 plants were literally identical in every way, including their fkn height, size, bud size.... I guess I just to need to smoke, be glad she bounced back, and just stop stressing over shit when I can't figure it out.lol

You're not running a hydro setup with multiple plants running off the same res, you have to look at each plant individually even if they're the same strain. You can't be 100% consistent across everything and you can't count on the plants to be consistent either. Way too many variables.
