Hey KD.
To start with get those rocks off the top of the soil. Why is it there?
Remove it and it well help dry out the soil.
That droopy one in moisture stressed and has been for some time by the looks of it.
They all look really stunted. They should be 3 times the size at 8 weeks.
Plants that size in those pots should be watered about once a week.
Over watering will cause stunted growth, yellowing, and weaken the plant.
No plant should ever have to be held up unless in full flower with big heavy buds.
The stem on that droopy fucker is shocking.
Ease up on the watering, piss those stones off to help dry out the soil.
All the best.
Edit: and never remove any leaves unless they are totally dead.

HOWEVER some people do keep a light layer ov gravel or hydrotons on top ov the soil to allow roots to grow in the top inch ov soil,, it tends to make the plant stand sturdyer,and helps it later on when bud weight could be too much for the plant to banance, gravel & hydrotons keep the top layer miost for longer making it suitable for the roots to venture in to,, with out hydrotons or gravel the top drys fast as the plant gets bigger meaning roots dont go there any more, and dont want to go there,, meaning most the roots will sit in the bottom 75/80% of the medium,,
roots in the top soil does really help,,
even more if u have a thin stemmed plant,,
so yes it effects how fast the soil drys out
but as long as u do let it dry it dont matter at all
i let mine dry over the space ov about 6 days now
my plants in the pic are younger than yours,,lol,,,
peace

In some situations gravel, hydroton, rocks etc, on the top soil can be beneficial.
On this particular grow however, which is what we're talking about, they are not helping one bit.
All they're doing is adding to the over watering problem.
Lose the stones KD.
Feel free to put them back when you get your water schedule dialled in.
For now though they are doing more harm than good.

yea i was just saying if they guna be spindaly plants, wich they cud well be,, then its an idea,,
it works great for double cola plants,tall plants even just a wonky plant, it saves tying your plants to stuff to help them support bud weight,,
when your plants lean over they put more work in to the stem build rather than a 100% of its energy going to buds ,,
so im just saying iv found it works, and so have many other people

yea mine are taller but yours should be even taller cos of less light
mine cud of been put on 12/12 at 5 weeks
and the worst that could happen by puttin gravel to close around the stem is stem rot,,bad shit
i wud leave a 10mm gap all around the stem if u plan on puttin gravel back on
are they lookin any better yet??
can slugs get into your green house??
