i think u might be over watering but also have u got fans in ur cupborad? is there anywhere for the hot air to escape? do u have drainage holes in the bottom of your pots? check the nutes that your not over or under feeding.? if none of this is the problem try lining the cupboard with reflective lining paper rather than paint then you dont have any fumes to worry about.

hope some of this helps u out.

My guess is overwatering, not the fumes. Paint fumes may play a small part, but back off on the watering, maybe every third day.

you would be smelling for root rot.. id doubt you have any this early on. not enough roots there to smell even if they were rotting. here is a neat trick. put a long toothpick or wooden skewer (atleast several inches deep ) down into your soil and leave it there. 3 days from now, go back and pull out your 'dip stick; as it were, and if it is wet then your soil is still moist. when you pull the tooth pick and it is more or less dry you know you can go ahead with a watering!
