Plant Leaning and Leafs Turning Down

I came home to find this. I lowered the light and dropped the biggest plant down. That is the only thing that has changed, so I have no idea what could have been wrong. I gave it some straight water and now I am just waiting but any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks againResampled_2012-01-29_00-56-56_529.jpgResampled_2012-01-29_00-57-04_467.jpg

your overwatering as watering everyday with soil by my book is way too much.
If the plant really needs watering every day you need more root space.

But your plant doesn't look like its waterlogged, more like low humidity to me.
Lower your venting a bit or just wait for it to pass.

I was watering that often because my soil dryers out that fast. Within like 20 hours, the first inch of the soil is completely dry. I also lowered the light a couple inches. Thanks for the help.

Looks underwatered to me too, Get a bigger pot that allows you to water every 3 days. Nice looking plants btw

check by pot weight, not how the top layer looks.
lift the pot and you'll know if it needs watering.

If you want the upper layer to stay moist between waterings you might wanna look into mulching.
I use coarse coco on my plants.

Thanks for the complement. They are in 1 gal root bags. I am going to trans plant into 5 gal. Also they are about a month old, to soon to switch to 12/12?

they are probably starting to get root bound. u need 1 gal of pot for every month u plan to grow them, i.e. 1 gal pot = 1 month of growth. i think yr plants are looking good other than that. after transplant they will be ready to flower. also be aware that the plants will follow the light. if u moved the light this could explain maybe why they leaned over a lil. just a guess.

toooo much water - roots need oxygen: with seedlings i use a mist bottle for watering, helps me avoid over watering, don't keep the soil too wet, just slightly moist - good luck
