leafs can curl because of PH being off, over watering, etc. 11 days, kinda droopy, not too much stretch, could have more leaf nodes by now though.

:wave: :woohoo: :yeahthats :kewlpics: :respect: :muahaha: Is your soil wet? Do you wait till it's almost dry? Even with dry RH you could be overwatering. What's the duct tape for? My cups have a soil-perlite mix, and I water when the cup feels like its dry, as compared to when it's wet. just my :2cents: I'll take a pic of my babies later. Good Luck.

lol i read that the roots dont like light so i taped the cups but i learned that its not all that important lol just a newbie doin ish

i wait till the soil is dry like when it starts to shrink away from the cup and when it gets a lil hard

Yep I would guess its over-watering or under-watering.

Let the soil almost dry out before watering again... usually every 2-3 days. Make sure when you do water 20% of it comes out the bottom. It would be a good idea to let that 20% stay in the bottom some how (contain the water) so that the plant can soak it up through the bottom for a more level-watering. If you HAVE been doing this it is probably over-w, if you HAVENT it is probably under-w. If it is under-w... give them a big drink and within hours they should perk up.


Since the temps are so high it might not be a bad idea to back up the light a couple/few inches.

Plants are going to need some feeding pretty soon. Be sure to give AT MOST, half the rec. dosage. Very easy to burn small babies :yoinks:

And yeah, let soil dry out between waterings. Dryer = Better. Dry soil = No water = roots searching for water (roots growing) = Better growth. :woohoo:

looks like a transplant is needed

when i water i water just untill it starts to drain out the bottom and stop,when plant has stopped draining i lift it this is my plants approx weight when watered. now every day lift the plant you'll notice the moisture level go down each day when she feels light water her again. if you watering every other day it probably dose need a transplant let her dry out some but not all the way and transplant her, if her rootmass is wet/heavy you run a good chance of ripping the rootmass i know lmao. if she to dry same same could happen

The drooping is most likely overwatering like stated. Instead of watering every day, do this: Water them completely so that water comes out of the holes in the bottom. Then, don't water until the soil is completely dry, you can test it by sticking your finger into the soil and if it's bone dry then you can water. You should only need to water every 5-10 days using this method, depending on pot size, plant size, etc.
