Stunted leaves

One of my plants is having a hard time - it's technically growing as fast as the others but it's leaves are half the size, slight discolouration and cupping. I suspect Mg, PH or overwatering may be the issue. All variables for each plant are exactly the same.

My first guess is overwatering. If they are too wet, the plant has no reason to develop a strong root system. You need to mimic competition in the wild by forcing them to develop strong root systems. You almost need to dehydrate them.

I agree with 8thChevron. Looks like over watering to me. Let them get to the brink of droop and even a little under watering is better than overwatering as long as you catch it quickly. Overwatering can also lead to pH fluctuations, it promotes anaerobic bacterias (the bad kind) and creates an ideal environment for pests like fungus gnats to reproduce. Good luck and happy growing!
