they look a bit young to be fertilizing... that might be the problem... and at walmart you can pick up a digitial thermometer and barometer in one for like 5-10 bucks...

It is far too early to be using any kind of nutrient, and that may account for the curling on the margins, but the droop that is as you said down to watering, either too much or too little

plenty of nutrients in the soil right now. I noticed a slight purpling of the leaves, that's why I asked the fert. question.

Trouble is though that because you have overwatered them "as you said" if you flush them out your going to suffer, i'd let them dry out a bit first then use only ph'd water, do you have any method of measuring ppms?

I would transplant them to bigger pots asap.
It looks like your drooping is from overwatering.
You need more drainage.
I would mix perlite with potting soil.
40% perlite with 60% p soil would work well.
Then just transplant them into the new mix.

I think the cups are still big enough for that plants root mass. What im wondering is, do you have any drainage holes poked in the bottoms? Also as midgrade said, you need to add some more perlite to that soil,
Goodluck though, and no nutes please for a couple weeks : )

If you transplant fill the bottom of the pot with 1 -2 inch perlite then fill with your potting mix of preference, ive found that makes drainage much swifter and effective. Alsowhat kinda potting mix are u using, some of them come very acidic ive realised.

Those leaves are really big, perhaps indicating that your light isn't strong enough. What lights are you using?
