It looks like they’re showing signs of heat stress. You may need to give abit more info to someone that’s been here awhile but that’s my first thoughts.

That soil looks really dry. Also have you checked the soil pH?

It's not 2. How are you checking it?
What does a moisture meter tell you?
If you wait until it hits the red every time before watering it makes it real simple with soil and indoors.

That's kinda what I thought. It's worthless for pH. I bought one too before I realized it sucked ass. Luckily I figured it out right away and returned it.
Just a simple, moisture only, meter. In theory the 3 way is cool but I had one and tossed it. AMAZON? lol

A decent soil pH meter isn't cheap. I finally ordered the BlueLab.
You can get an idea doing a slurry test too though if you don't want to spend $150. But I love my pen.

I see your plant looks better but I had to comment on this.
I would recommend learning more about pH scales so you can learn how to make sure you are in range and how much of a difference there is between the numbers. In short, every decimal change in pH is a 100% increase or decrease in the acidity or alkalinity of the solution. So, for example, a pH of 6.0 is double the acidity of pH 6.1 and 10x more acidic as pH 7.0. Hydrochloric acid has a pH of around 2 so you’d be having some serious issues if your soil had a pH of 2.

This looks like my plants do when I have them outside and bring them inside under MH bulbs at night, the leaves seem to curl a little and droop, then in the morning they look normal again like in your follow up pic.
