2 look fine and he should leave as is, the third looks underfed or it’s nutrient uptake is on its way to being fucked. If it’s overwatered he should be able to leave it for a day and it’ll recover, but afaik overwatering doesn’t cause n deficiency and soft leaves.

LEDs can give you some leaf curl and lighter colored tops. I've been told to drop the nitrogen and bump the trace elements when growing under LED.

What lights are you running?

pretty much what i said There no way its underwatered thing would be a limp noodle its either has a root lockout probably from being over watered per the husbands advice heh or.. the roots arent quite there yet and now that she confirmed she put it in a huge pot early now i know im right for sure she put tiny roots in a big pot of shitty foxfarm and watered and theres no roots to suck up the water in 80 percent of that pot and its got wet feet just dont water it until the planter feels light and youll be fine throw some
Mycorrhizal Inoculant in it give it a tiny water and let it be till dry then soak it then let it dry

as for the underfed No way no how that soil comes hot ready for 3 weeks growth with nothing added

It’s underfed whether the nutrients are in the soil or not, it’s definitely staring to look n deficient. Sounds like an uptake problem/lockout due to imbalanced nutrient ratio or something similar. Do you know the ph of the water being used?

They are under a led panel I believe 300w and then there are two 60 CFL. The LeD lights I just added last week. They just got added to the tent last week as well. She was fine until I watered them all. It could be the soil.
 
they dont your correct they look pretty dang fine to me but i still think that one doesnt have as much root structure and is either a little shock as it grows roots to keep up is starting to get a root problem from damp feet or the lights just came on nothing i would really worry about If thats happy frog soil ditch it looks likes sticks and stems heh goto coco water once a day and be done
Thank you. It is in Miracle Grow Organic Soil and Peat Moss mix. I think maybe the peat moss is keeping it too wet. Would moving it to another pot be something worth trying? Or should I leave her be and let the pot dry

No I do not that is my next purchase. I use tap water that I let sit out for a few days first. I was barely giving any of them water, no run-off what so ever and only spraying close to the plants for the first few weeks since they were so small. All the buckets weighed 2 pounds before I watered them. The dry soil buket I compared to was about two pounds as well, that is why I watered them. Saturday was the first time I really gave them all water to "soak" the soil as I have been afraid to over water them. The two on the left took to it fine, but they also have less peat moss and more soil in their buckets that this girl, she was the first one and I started her in only peat moss. After further reading I decided to switch her into soil and peat moss but that was a few weeks ago and she bounced back great I moved her becuase her bottom leaves started doing the same thing and I was afraid I overwatered her and she was drowning. I think that bucket may have more peat moss and less soil...should I try to transplant her to a pot that is only soil, or try and let her hang there for a few more days, let it dry out some and then try feeding? And thanks!
 
Also .... most importantly.... post pics in natural light not under panel light. Makes it easier to see whats really going on.
This is her as of the morning.

You might want to put some effort into moving those lights off the ground...your watering next to a light socket.
Yes I have all the cords going out the back. I had one on a box off the ground. I’m going to go move them around a bit. Thanks!

I would just let the soil mix dry out and then water them again lol. It looks ok, I would leave it alone and keep treating it like the others. It’ll probably swing back. Also, look into hard water nutrients, they stabilize ph if your tap water is not great and you don’t have an ro.
