Ya your plants are not happy ! Need more info what have u been watering how many times how old temps, RH , light schedule and medium
 
Maybe there getting too much light , is it happening before lights out or have they been this way for a while? Or ya maybe the pots are dry

If my monitor is accurate? I would "assume" over water and beginning some root rot as indicated by pin holes and specks of discoloration I believe I see. Thirsty would canoe, taco and raise upward before drooping across the entire leaf. Learn wet dry and improve drainage in your next soil mix.

Best wishes.

I can't quite see the leaves clear enough...
Looks way better than expected with that type of watering though.

You got drainage in that pot your plant is in OP? Research proper watering and you'll get this straightened out.
 
Thanks for the replies. I have a layer or 2 of pebbles in the bottom of the pot, I thought that would have enough.

If I leave the plant without water for a few days while I read more into this, will that start to correct/help the issue before I start a new water schedule?
 
You can read up on the basics of proper watering for soil while you're taking a shit. It won't take you a few days.

Does the actual pot itself have drainage?

Go grab some toilet paper and your phone and get reading.
 
The pot has 2 layers of stone pebbles in the bottom, doesnt take long for the water to drain through the soil.
Not needing a shit but what I'm picking up is only water when top inch of soil feels dry. water less often but more water 20-30% run off. Is that a better watering schedule or is that bullshit just like my last water schedule that I read from a website about watering them. So much crap information online hence why I thought I would ask people that actually grow it

Right, I get the pebble thing...but if the water cannot drain from the pot itself, it could just be sitting at the bottom of those rocks. Moisture lingering like that can lead to pests, fungus and nutrient deficiencies.
How big of a pot is your plant in? And what kind of soil are your using?

You want a pot with good drainage that allows the water to pass through all the way. What you are trying to accomplish with this is balancing moisture retention and water drainage. Give the entire pot a good soak so there are no dry, hydrophobic spots. Let it run off and check the top couple inches...your plant will start needing more water at this stage.

Sorry iv got you now, yeah there is holes on the bottom that allows excess water out and it can drain away from the pot as well once it's came all the way thro. I could probably do with getting better quality soil but if remember correctly it's a cheap Peat based soil i think
