Help! I’m a new grower and one of my plants is exhibiting these leaves, I’m growing in organic soil and cloth buckets. Could it be from over watering? Or is it a deficiency? Please help!!
I'm no expert on this, but have read that over watering can present like all sorts of issues. It sounds like you're aware you may have been over watering. Let her dry out until the pot is light, maybe even until the leaves droop a little, before you water next time. If she doesn't perk up after adjusting the water cycle it might then be time to look at Potassium content of your nutrients. Just a guess.I had been watering them everyday but noticed that the pots were still wet, so
I have left them for a few days to dry out, this plants pot is still very heavy. I feed every other water.
I posted them below, first time using a thread lol!Can you post pics of the entire plants with buckets? I think it is over watering based on what you said, soil should not be constantly wet.
Also, how much nutrients are you giving it and what kind? Probably a combination of over watering and over fertilization.

Don't worry about letting them get too dry, as long as you are paying attention you cannot miss the symptoms when they are really ready for water. The leaves and limbs will droop like crazy, it looks scary but they perk up right away once you do water them. Not that you should do this every time, but doing it once or twice will give you a good feel for how the plant takes in water.I’m also guessing over watering because there seems to be gnats. Should I just water the plants that are light and let the rest that are a bit heavy dry out more? And then water again?
Thank you I really was starting to be freaked out, I don’t want to lose a plant.Def. Let them dry out. You have to look at each plant as an individual and treat them accordingly you already seem to be putting yourself on the right track and you've made it this far so you will be alright. Once things start to perk back up trim off the effected fan leaves with clean scissors

The only thing I have right now is some wood slats, probably not the best but will get them off the floor for drying out right nowIt will also help to dry out more evenly if you can get some separation between the floor and the bottom of the pot, i.e. some wire shelving or plastic egg crate essentially anything you can think of that won't absorb moisture and create mold.
Thank you, a few are starting to droop now I’m going to wait until morning to see how they look, and lift the pots to see how dry they are. Hopefully that will give me a good indicator of when they should be wateredDon't worry about letting them get too dry, as long as you are paying attention you cannot miss the symptoms when they are really ready for water.

Fungus gnats can cause yellowing alsoI’m also guessing over watering because there seems to be gnats. Should I just water the plants that are light and let the rest that are a bit heavy dry out more? And then water again?
