I transplanted this plant 7 days ago and now some of the edges are turning down and some of the leaves are crumpling for a lack of a better word. More info on the watering and other stuff including more pics are in my journal. As far as I know plants have been getting enough water and have not been getting over watered. I usually give them a half gallon to 4/5 of a gallon daily depending on how the soil looks and feels I give them advance nutrients sensi grow every three waterings full strength according to the label. None of my other plants have been having similar problems and I have been using the same watering schedule and amount ratios.

No I wouldnt say I am SURE that it is not over watered but I really dont think it is. Now this is only my third grow so i am by no means a pro at this. As for the perlite, all the plants are planted in the same soil so there should be about the same amount of perlite throughout the bag. It looked pretty evenly distributed when I was filling the pots. Also this plant has not been having a whole lot of drainage which I usually get when I am watering to much. I poked my finger as deep as i could down in the soil and it feels damp but not soggy. If it is overwatering how long should I go without watering to get it back on track>?

I'd just water that plant a little less frequent than the others...I have a feeling since you say its not been having a whole lot of drainage that the perlite didn't get distributed as well to the soil in that container...so if you water it a little less, and less often it should perk back up. When I mix up my soil I put perlite in the bottom of a bucket, add 1/3 soil, add some more perlite, add 1/3 more soil, then add more perlite on top then start mixing...dig out the top 1/3 and put it in the final pot, usually throw in some more perlite, keep mixing, and putting the perlite enhanced mix into the final buckets, for the top 1/4 of the final pot I also mix in about a 1/4 cup of bloodmeal
