I heard this may have happened from over watering. I watered, waited about 3 days and watered again, I thought they were dry, apparently not?
What's Going On Here? Little Help?

At that age my buckets will take about 7-10 days to dry out before needing water. let them dry out and feel how much they weigh then when you water get a feel for how much they weigh wet, or get a cheap 3 dollar moister meter off ebay.

is the pot heavy if so they are wet perhaps drowning, and if the pot is light as a feather than its ready to water. I'm guessing promix or something similar. at this stage your roots aren't developed enough to handle overwatering, and some strains can handle it better than others, but I think your giving them too much at a time. best of luck! this info applies to those two plants only!

Damn, 7 to 10 days huh? Lol I am guessing that is definitely what I did wrong then, thank you!

np man, ive never been a big fan of sticking my finger in dirt in order to tell if its dry or not, because 1 inch dry top soil might mean a 1 gallon bucket is fully dry but a 5 gallon bucket can still be wet as shit at the bottom, but thats just my opinion

I would use 100ml of water every 2 day round the base of the stem on the two small plants for the first week as you need the soil to dry out and giving a large pot loads of water with a small plant in will over-water the plant as it takes too long to dry out so the plant will be stunted for the first 2 weeks
The best way imo is to start off with 1/2ltr pot and re-pot into a 2ltr then 10ltr ect so the plants need water every 2-3 days

No one on this website should be spending money on a moister meter...buying one is like saying "I'm the biggest dumbass in the world"...ya got 5 moister meters on each hand...water...let it dry out...wait and water again...growing weed is really easy if you don't try to hard

I must be the dumass as I have brought some plant sticks ( home made moister meter) stick it in the soil and pull it out, if the soil sticks to the plant sticks you don't need to water the plants also if the soil is dry the sticks will push in the soil with ease
