Not sure if the pots got hot and burned the roots, or if it's because a damn rat gnawed on them. What do you guys think? Fuck man, these plants were coming a long great, son of a bitch.

The plant(s) are still salvagable. There's a problem involving the growing medium. Do the plantpots have good drainage? Is there any pooling water in which certain root structures are under water for a lenthy period.? Water catchers are nutorious for this. Are you watering when nessecary? Are you using MG soil?

There's no pooling of water. You think I'm over watering? I water when the soil is not damp. What's MG soil?
 
If this were my moms I'd increase the watering knowing that there is no pooling water and the plantpot has good drainage. I also rely on timers, relays and pumps to get the watering done. To miss scheduled waterings is as catastophic as overwatering. Both lead to root damage which later shows in the plant(s) and slows production. MG, maracle grow soil. I have noticed that as the plant(s) get progressively larger they require a bit more water. If they don't get the nessecary resources from the medium they will canabalize their fan leaves etc.

I watered yesterday and the plants looks worse today. I water every other day since i'm an outdoor grower so I don't think that's the problem..
 
I can't see anything wrong with the mulch. Did you check or know the PH of the soil. I had some house plants go to sh*t and I found out my wife put some non-composted ground up banana skins into them and the algae build up almost killed them. When algae forms it secreets and magnesium toxicity build up results in the lockout of other nutrients occurs. Ideally the medium should be between 65-69F to help prevent this and all mediums should be fully composted and heat sterilized.

No I didnt check the PH. You guys don't think it's because the pot got hot and fried some roots? It was hot the other day and I have black pots. Ever since that day I started seeing the plants go downhill. A rat gnawed on my plants pretty bad the same week so I don't know if that was it.
 
I think I am overwatering. Yesterday I watered and today the plant looks wayyy worse. It's so droopy.
