If in not giving them enough water.. how much should I be giving them?
im not the most experienced with smart pots, and i use 5gal. How much runoff are you getting with the 2 cups? at that stage of growth i was probably giving 5-6. But again, different pot size and material. Smart pots dry out quicker than plastic and have a tendency to prune the roots if too dry. that could be what youre going through

if youre not going to give more water at the moment, my advice would be to watch that one VERY closely. The one i mentioned almost killing went from looking a bit better than yours to near dead within about 12-14 hours

Use your probe. Dont water until 3.5-4.0 with probe deep in the soil. That size plant + 3 gal fabric pot needs water about once every 5-7 days max. Water to 30% runoff. Pot should be light as a feather before you water each time.

Again. Use your probe until you get used to knowing when to water by the weight of the pot alone...

they come here once and they leave because they cant be pampered like in real life
No has nothing to do with pampering, I'm new to growing. Seeking advice . If you dont want to help dont comment . Everywhere I read says dont damage the roots. Me thinking logically assumed it would be best not to ram probe through the root system . Apparently I was wrong and you could have said that instead of being a dick

Roots are pretty tough. You need to choose your points of weaponized credo with some care.

It worked shame that is. You gotta call people out at times to get them to take action. Being an idiot doesn't last forever, everyone has times of idiocy.
I dont understand why yall started being rude. I'm going off things I've read. So I didnt prob it to be safe .

I dont see how that makes me an idot . I mean seriously .

I get it but teating me like an idoit isnt helping. Just making things frustrating . I dont see the need for it

Your orthography is not helping your thesis.
