Overwatering and Drooping problems

I have 4 Frozen Fuel from Square One, 4 Alien Treatz from Robinhood, 2 Anaphylaxis from Mass Medical, and 1 Grape Pupil V2 from Mass Medical in veg right now, 44 days from sprout. I for sure know I had an overwatering problem from when I transplanted them from solo cups at during week 4 into 2 gallon pots. I thought it would be good to soak the pot very heavy after transplanting to help with the stress of transplant, and then watered 3 days later heavy again, and then the overwatering problems started. So after the second watering I let the soil and coco dry out for about 7 or 8 days until it had time to really dry out the pots and for new roots to grow. The growth significantly slowed down after those 2 waterings and nutrient problems started to happen like purple stems and leaves, drooping leaves, yellowing leaves. I gave them water finally again 2 days ago and they seemed like they started to grow again and all the problems were started to turn themselves around. All the new growth is nice and green and the stems are not purple. But some of the old larger fan leaves still have very purple stems and seem to be drooping still a bit. And one of my Alien Treatz looks pretty healthy, except for the top two fan leaves and wilting like crazy. It is only the top two fan leaves and the stems are sticking straight up like the leaves should be praying, but the actual leaves are just very wilted and drooped. Anyone know what this is or how to fix it? Also one of the Anaphylaxis has a strange color to the leaves. The edges are very dark green but the middle of the leaves seem a yellowish tint. Its like it wants to turn greener but it slowly is doing it in certain spots. New inside growth looks normal and green,

Also, I usually top dress slow release dry amendments every 2 weeks. Should I postpone a week on top dressing because they most likely were not taking in any nutrients for that week that they were highly overwatered. I don't want to load the soil up with two much nutes

Overwatering - this practice only serves to weaken the root system by depriving the roots of proper gas exchange. IOW, the roots are not getting enough oxygen which creates an anerobic condition causing root decline and root rot with the end result showing up as leaf stress, stunted growth, and in severe cases, death. <gasp!> Alot of times folks think the plant is not getting enough plant food (which it can't under such adverse conditions), they add more nutes for a "curative", and just add insult to injury.

PLANT MOISTURE STRESS - symptoms and solutions (revised Jan. 12, 2009) Quite often I hear groans from folks having leaf problems -> “Help, my leaves are cupping and the leaf edges are turning brown!”, or, “My plant's leaf tips are curling down and turning black ....what's...

It helped me a lot too , and I'm still a noob.

See....I am kind of a noob...not really. Everything you stated there I did know all of that, so I understand why the leaves are stressing. Most of the drooping of the leaves in all the plants went away after I left the soil to dry for a good 7-8 days. It's just that this one plant's top fan leaves are drooping like they are underwatered now, but I don't think that is the case. I am not really sure. The stems are sticking straight up like the leaves should be praying, but the leaves themselves are just drooped and very weak. Usually with overwatered leaves they are very heavy and thick.

I know there had to be root damage during the really wet overwatered period as I had white fuzzy mold on the bottom of my pots about a week ago. So the roots were most likely just sitting in water getting no oxygen. Like I said though, I dried the soil out very well, and did a lighter watering a few days ago. All the plants seem pretty much back to life and recovering well other than that one
