My soil is dry as balls but my plants are still drooping from overwatering, they are a week old and in 2 & 2.5 gallon buckets. Do I let them recover first or just give them a small amount of water?
How big are your plants? A week old can't be too big at all. If it's still in its seedling stage then I would recommend watering with a tablespoon and lightly till you are positive the over watering effects have subsided. How are you sure it was from over watering ? Try lifting up your pot and get a sense of the dry weight and then again when you water so further down the road you won't have this issue.

I had them in solo cups and drenched them and only had a couple small holes for drainage so I went ahead and transplanted them 50/50 soil and worm-enriched dirt.
I see. Your plant does not look like it is in a dying state. It may just be from the transplantation that caused it to possibly shock the seedling for a few days or so. Honestly I wouldn't worry. I'm no pro by any means, but in my current grow I did not transplant, however I did clone "incorrectly by just putting cuttings directly into soil with nothing but solo cup, soil, cutting, water. They stayed droopy for almost 15 days. Now they are budding beautifully. Just keep an eye on her, do go crazy with lights yet, take it day by day and watch her. Adjust your watering based on your environment your growing in. Maybe try watering more frequently but less water. Do you pH test your water? Keep us posted.

Bigger pot = longer tim to dry out... not smart to stress your girls put like that when they already have an overwatering issue going on.
With plants that young you should have kept them in the solo cups longer. With a bigger pot, they're going to keep growing roots to fill up the pots instead of growing up top. Your plants do look healthy though, just keep an eye on them to see what they need.
Very true. They can be kept in solo cups for quite awhile but don't wait too long. Before About a week ago Taken yesterday. Same clones just a close up one one. Your plant is going to be fine. Just keep and eye on it and don't freak out if she doesn't bounce back in a day or two. Peace What up GC! 400w MH HPS, nirvana white widow and blackjack indoor. White Widow & Blackjack journal
Yeah, patience is key when dealing with nature. Sometimes when stuff doesn't go right it's easy to freak out, but cannabis is a fairly hardy plant and can handle a lot and recover quickly. Just take it easy and learn to read your plants. When they need or want something, they'll tell you. You just gotta learn how to listen
