I don't have a strict schedule but between 2-4 days depending on how dry the soil feels, I usually check the soil to figure it out
It's Goldenlabel's soil wich should have some nutes in them for the first 4weeks

My first guess would have been overwatering or underwatering . But your schedules spot on if using the Dry Back method . My only other guess would be a nitrogen deficiency or nute problems . If ur able to maybe test the run off PPM of your soil that could give u an idea of the nute level in your soil.. If over 700 It could be toxicity . If lower than 450 ppm say it's a deficiency. A high Electric Conductively aka salt build up can cause nute lock and suck all the moisture out your plants . A TDS meter will only cost you about 15$ on Amazon. Finally As long as your temps is 70-80F and doesn't fluctuate heavily it shouldn't be a issue

I just reread this and noticed you water two days in a row .this could be the direct cause. Just make sure the first 2-3 Inches of soil are completely dry before watering again . Everyone does it differently . But you typically want to wait at least a couple days before watering again . I've over watered my first two plants and killed them . It didn't even seem like alot of water to me when I did this but the key is to let the top few inches of soil dry and to check with your fingers by gently digging down into the soil. I hope this helps!

Thank you so much! I will let the soil dry out properly as u said. I will also try to check the nute issue but I don't believe it is that. I only feed them with plain ph balanced water

How much water are you giving them? And what size of pot are they in?

They are 8liter pots and I give them about 1l water as they are now. The plant corrected it self now tho when I put some heat in the place.

The plant corrected it self, It was a heat issue I guess. Put some more heat to the place and they are fine

Yea that’s about right for an 8L. Good to know she perked up after some heat. If you’re UK based it was chilly last night!
