Agreed. Plant seems to be wilting from lack of water. She is too big to only water around the perimeter like a seedling. Looks like the other 3 got enough but not her.

Overwatering is from watering too often to saturation. It eventually leaves the bottom of the pot too wet and basically drowns the roots.

How do i fix this ? I accidently gave to much water before i went to sleep and believe it is overwatered
I always lift the whole plant to feel how much weight they are to get a better idea of how much more or how much less water is needed. Just looking and assuming can be deceiving and could lead to over or under watering. I also give her the knuckle test to the dirt.

If over-watered, turn up the light and heat and lower the RH, Aerate the hell out of the water on the next watering. Actually, that's a good idea at every watering. Got tired of shaking half empty jugs, now I just drop a hose in it attached to a $7 aquarium air pump.

Plant doesn’t seem to get any better looks like it is getting worse . I originally thought it was overwatered so i gave it very little water but as of yesterday i started giving it the normal water schedule as my other plants but it looks like its getting bad

Had a couple sad seedlings in 16 oz. beer cups of FFOF .
Looked to be all but dead.
(FoxFarm gets it wrong on occasion. :( )

On the premise, "it's going to die anyway" I dumped the swampy smelling soil into my hand and gently shook off what I could. Then rinsed the roots clean under the tap.
Held them in fresh cups and dribbled in pre-moistened soil.

They recovered rapidly and went on to be beauty queens.
Your mileage may vary, but, as a last resort . . .

I have tried getting it back to its normal watering but I think ive been cautious about how much im watering so it must still be underwatered . Should i spray directly under the stem and concentrate all the water to that spot ? Cause i usually just spray all around untill all the top soil is moist.

Dont water by spraying. They are pretty big just water them thoroughly.
