They’re underwatered not over watered. If you look at the stem from the fan leaf and it’s bending down with droopy leaves then it’s under watered. If your stems are pointing up at a 45 off the main stalk and you have droopy leaves they’re overwatered. Overwatering will yellow leaves much faster than under watering could be why there’s no signs of yellowing. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Ok so I watered them last night and they look worse ... Transplant maybe ? Sent from my ZTE B2017G using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Yes transplant into a different container. If it watering didn’t help you have what’s called “wet feet” the where the very bottom of your pot is staying saturated and not drying out. Essentially it’s a layer of muck at the bottom suffocating your root system. If you’re using same pots when you transplant drill more holes in the bottom and then lift your pots up off the ground. You can use anything to set under your pots i use two 1/2 inch pvc pipes and out them on the sides of the pot to raise them. This will allow air into the bottom of your pot to allow them to dry better. A lot of times plants sitting in plates or dishes like this will get this due to lack of air to the bottom of the pot. I use a dish when I feed but after they’ve finishined running off I take them off the dish and onto PVC to keep them off the floor. I dealt with this not even a month ago. It’s tricky to diagnose if you’ve never heard of it! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
Exactly why I say sifting thru forums and sites is just as good as experience is some cases. U learn stuff like that that u prob normally wouldn’t have or atleast not as quickly
Yep that and asking questions! I was so frustrated when it happened to me because it showed underwatering symptoms and overwatering symptoms it was just crazy. I couldn’t find jnfo on it anywhere and I asked on here and was told it was wet feet and how to fix it. I didn’t transplant however I lifted my pots and left it for almost 2 weeks with no water and then ever since it hasn’t been an issue! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum
He was thinking he found out the issue and it took 2w for the bottom of the pot to dry and plant to recover. Imo he thought good if it fixed the issue lol Real talk tho. My friends closet temps stay in 60s 24/7. It takes about 2 weeks for his pot to fully dry and they only lol 6” square pots
It was how I got the bottom of my pot to completely dry from wet feet. Look it up! Or read the posts above. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum

My friend, tlkn about closet? Hell ya he does. I told him that from day 1 to get temps up in there. They ain’t the brightest tho
Yeah that does look over watered. Does the soil have any dampness to it at all? If it was under watered you could simply leave it for an hour and it would be loads worse. If its under then it would look the same. "wet feet" just means the roots are being kept too wet for too long, the roots being the plants' feet. What's your temperature? Warming it up by putting it closer to the lights can speed the watering cycle up, but you don't want it going over 28 degrees
