Hello everyone! I'm a noob here and a noob in growing. On Sat night around midnight, I (over) watered my plants, then I realized I screwed up big time the next morning. I haven't watered since. The soil on top is dried up but when I poke my finger deep into it a little, it's still just a little moist. What can/should I do now?

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

You have many things going on here, and watering isn't one of them. Take some pics without your grow light on and put 'em up on here so we can see actual colors.

One thing comes to mind when looking at your plants.....do you have a cat? My bottom leaves looked the same after I found my cat chewing on 'em. It also explained why my cat gained 6 lbs in about a month.

Seems to me that that's more than just one time overwatering, there's something else going on, what kind of soil is that and have you been feeding them nutes?

Ok first of all, thanks for all the replies...

I wouldn't say neglect... I received these plants Saturday and they were looking fine at the time. I (over)watered them on Sat night and have been checking on them constantly since then but I just haven't done anything really because from what I've read on these boards and elsewhere is to just let them sit for couple of days-week till the soil dries then water again - is pretty much I can do at this point.

The temp and humidity has been at where it should be. Light is at 18 on, 6 off.

I think the issue may be is that I over watered it by 2 1/2 times what I should've on sat night. Which also means I gave it 2 1/2 times the nuts it should've gotten since I mixed my nutes based on the gal of water I used.

I will take more pics when I get a chance. In the meantime, please keep the responses coming. Thank you!

less is more...less water and more frequently. Look for the droopy leaves to know when they want water. Also, get a feel for what the pot weighs before and after watering as a reference.

overwatering and nute burn are common probs...we gotta make mistakes to learn
Thanks for being understanding to a noob =)

You mentioned to look for the droopy leaves to know when they want water, what kind of indiciation specifically am I looking for in the leaves?

And what do you suggest/recommend I can do to save these plants and dig myself out the shithold I dug myself into?

Thanks

flush the plants by using a 3 to 1 ratio of water to soil. Make sure your water is in the proper PH range, and run a bunch of water through each plant to leech out the nutes or they will continue to cause harm

Should I use regular tap water to flush? And after I flush, how long should I wait before I can water regularly with nutes again?

Dont water for at least a week and when you do just use a little water. Never flush your plants, that does nothing. Use less added nutes . Ide go tap water for a couple feedings
