way way too much water...should be watering enough for it to dry out in 2-3 days. Let the damage begin!

over watering damage: limp leaves, looks tired, yellowing leaves underneath...then turns to crispy

They look pretty damn perfect to me. You can probably bring your light closer. Put your hand on the top of the plants. If you can not keep your hand there because it's too hot, the light is too close. You should be able to get that light down to 12-15 inches above the canopy. Throw a little fan in there on low and point it between the light and top of plants

Good luck

honestly they dont really look great, not terrible, and 1 cup of water is totally the wrong approach to watering

you want to let the pot dry out alot then water it completely and repeat this cycle until harvest

The ideal method for compost potted plants with both watering and feeding is to use a wet/dry cycle, this gives the healthiest root system and in turn a very healthy plant, healthy plants give the optimum yield.
Composts should not be compressed when potting up, they are made to have an ideal crumb structure and in turn water/air holding capacity when just tapped to settle them when potting up, not firming by pushing with fingers squashing the compost into the pot. I would suggest filling the pots to the brim after tapping the pot on the bench, the compost will settle further under its own weight and watering, but as the roots rapidly fill the compost they stabilise compression keeping the water air holding capacity to near optimum. If the pots are too lightly filled its easy to top them off after a few days with a little more compost.
Water/feeding should be to the saturation capacity of the compost rootball, Ideally water/feed through the top of the compost slowly using a fine rose so all the compost is wet to its saturation point, keep watering until the pot tray has about an inch of run through in it, often the core of the root ball will not be saturated even when the pot tray is full, so leave it standing for half an hour gradually capillary action will draw up the liquid until the compost is saturated to its capacity right to its core and all the roots are bathed in nutrients if all the liquid is drawn up water through some more until no more water is drawn up, then tip out the saucers.
The compost should not be watered again until it is nearly dry! At this point there will be a build up of stale and toxic gasses in the compost, it is best to water with a fine rose over the entire the compost surface until you get run through, this oxygenates the water/feed when applied, it also drives stale and toxic gasses down through the rootball drawing in fresh air as it drains giving an aerobic healthy root zone.
While you can bottom feed/water but its much more tricky and we see more problems with the root ball becoming anaerobic, this encourages bad root conditions where bacterial and fungal pathogenic diseases build up and damage the root system, you also get a build up of toxins.
Half an hour or an hour standing in run through does not make the rootball anaerobic!

@Raisinghope tip get a pit same size fill with soil or Wat ur using and use that as a gauge to check also stick ur fingers in the holes at the bottom of the pot to see if dry, don't do it from the top of the pot, experience will teach u the weights of the pits lol mine are on day 37 and are drinking 3L every 2-3 days
