Ey everyone, I woke up one morning with these guys being all droopy and then I woke up this morning ad now there completely just leaning down...I'm not gonna lie someone watered then a couple days ago and I think he watered then way too much, but how do I fix it? And will they get back to normal?

Put a fan on them blowing on the soil surface & leaves, raise the temp a little and run a dehumidifier if possible. All these can increase the transpiration rate and evaporation from the soil.
 
The thing is I watered them a gallon for 5 guys an then my roommate watered them another gallon the next day so I think that's what happened, so I just give it time and let it sit then?
 
That plant is really dark green so it leaves me to believe that it is over feed. Flush it and no food for a week and see if it bounces back. I'll be honest it look's bad and if you don't fix it that plant is going to die.

Top 2" doesn't mean shit. The top always dries out from evaporation. Bottom 2/3 of the pot is where most roots are anyway. Don't you have some holes in the bottom you can fit your finger in and feel the soil? If not, cut one big enough to fit a finger in, if it will help you confirm the moisture. If it's heavy, it's wet. If you can get the same container and pack it full of your potting soil do that, and compare weight of the pot of empty dry soil, and your plants.

A gallon for 5 pots like that two days in a row, though probably unnecessary, shouldn't cause overwatering stress, but maybe it did. Looks like you got plenty of perlite for drainage. My point is you might have something else going on.
 
Those plants should have an established enough root zone to handle plenty of water, unless they were just sitting in a pool of it in the saucers for days. Something else is going on, I don't think it's over watering. In my experience it's nearly impossible to over water a plant that size with a healthy root system, unless they have been sitting in water for a long time. But yeah let them dry out until the pot lightens up. Still think it's something other then a moisture issue....
 
See how the leaves that are drooping are curling back in towards the stem? That is a sure sign of overwatering.

There could be other issues going on, but overwatering is certainly one of them.

Right, I agree. They HAD to be sitting in pools of water then, because I rarely see it happen on plants that size. But I am also noticing the, uh, very unhealthy plants in the background as well. There is a combination of issues at work here....
 
Well the guys in the back were transplanted a couple weeks ago so that's the dead leaves from the stress but as far as the other ones, I don't get what's going on cuz I don't see a puddle of water in the pot saucer, and I've been doing the same thing ever since I started growing them, randomly one day, the leaves just started curling and the stems started dropping and bending
 
wow, I've had plants droop from overwatering but never the multiple terminal tops. something else is definitely going on. sure someone's not trying to sabotash your grow. jelious neighbor, ex gfriend????? EDIT: sorry I saw the pic's wrong, thought the plants was outside..... disregard post.

Unless you totally destroyed the rootball on those you transplanted, you should not be having those issues. Highly doubt it was from transplanting as I have grown in containers for years (veggies/weed...trees..) and have NEVER seen that happen from a mere transplant... Transplanting stress is another pot forum myth.
 
Yeah he said it was 7.0 but even then a ph like that shouldn't completely destroy a plant like this, and that's what I'm saying, I don't know what it is because even the tops of the plants are starting to wilt as well
 
How many people are growing your plants? Do you keep a log that the others can check so there are no over water issues?
 
Dude man! Fuckkk!! Cuz I put so much work and effort to them, they were so healthy and bright and now, they're just dying withering plants, Are you guys basically saying this whole grow is fucked and that I should just restart?
 
Again bro I suggest flushing and no nute's for awhile. Very dark green and clawing like I see with your plant tell's me it has a bad "N" problem. Flush then check the ph, I don't think that plant will make it I have had more than a few end up like that and there was no helping them. You should not have let anyone mess with YOUR plants consider this a lesson learned or not.
 
Hahaha that's true, I guess since we both went halves on it but there should be jut guy for it, but the thing is i have never fed them
