Looks like some slight overwatering maybe. Slight stress from storm. What kind of soil and what's the top of the soil dressed with? Hope it's just perlite and not something that will swing the ph or cause a lockout. All in all it looks pretty good.

They may also want to go into a new pot soon. Is that a 1gal?

Honestly, my impression from all your threads is that you’re messing around too much. Let the plants grow as naturally as possible, observe, apply lessons next time around. The more you interact with the plant with trimming or chemicals, the more that is likely to go wrong.
Your plant needs a bigger pot. Is there a reason it’s not simply in ground?

Totally agree. 100%.
Yea I'm micro managing quite a bit..to the point I was out there swatting at pests all day yesterday,I'm gonna let it be for now ..few days it should pop back up
Aren't you the one who grows outdoors? Do you use living soil?

Yes, I grow totally out doors. Not only because I like organic, that includes the sun, but I KILL everything I put in a pot. I do nothing but torcher them. And I don't know why.
Anyhow, I grow in amended native soil. Two years ago, right after harvest, I dug holes 4 feet dia and about 2 feet deep. I refilled them with 1/3 plant material, 1/3 manure (donkey, goat and chicken), and 1/3 soil. 1 big bag of perlite divided between 12 plants and scratch in some DE in top couple of inches. Other than that my chickens have access to both gardens when from harvest to planting time.
That's about the whole thing on my soil. There's nothing fancy. and no high dollar nutes. It's basically the same thing my wife grows tomatoes in, except she gets the kitchen scraps for her compost.
If I had the energy I'd do a raised garden like some of the pictures of people's back yard grows.

Not exactly, the heat stresses the roots, causing wilt. Water cools the roots but they get overwatered too. Then she starts feeding off the bottom leaves. If the air temp is in the 90’s so is the soil, sunlight superheats the container to 140+.
Yea I figured out my problem..all week it's been 90+ degrees and been having them sit in total direct sunlight every day...then to top it off I watered em mid day a few times this week and put em right back in that heat...prob why all my pots were light just a day n half later
