Overwatered

Oh and here is a pic in natural light. Sorry the lighting in my basement isn't great

It's not a auto so go ahead transplant or drill 20 or so holes in that plastic bucket. Those roots need air without air in the soil and no holes to allow water to drain your cooking it in the soil it's a problem that won't go away. I would transplant it or drill holes. If you transplant mix more perlite into mix helps retain moisture keeps soil from compacting. My 2 cents.

Thanks for the advice and encouragement. So I got home from work and immediately checked on it and there is some improvement but she's still not happy and healthy. I do have a fabric pot. What are your thoughts on transplanting? I'm afraid I might stress the plant even more but if it would save it, it would be well worth it. I'll post an updated pic. Also... How long should I wait to water agaIn. The soil does feel dry and my moisture meter says its dry.

Set your pot on absorbent material to wick out excess water. I use the towels from the quest bathroom.
And remember this. In a pot that has proper drainage you can't over water, but you can damn sure water too often.

… nor is underwatering, nutrient deficiencies, nutrient burn, breakage, growing of the balls. Any mistake can be from an experienced grower. However, don't believe all these practitioners of witchcraft and snake oil salesmen show all their blunders.
And about fabric v plastic pots. I've grown in both, now. In either pot, when you have a nice, big root ball, you're going to dry out fast. My big girl needs water every other day. My little 'un every third or fourth. In fabric, that is.

Yep....great point

Yeah, you ain't got to be a rookie to overwater, next time you might want to try fabric pots, they dry out much quicker than plastic.
GoodLuck

Overwatering is not always a rookie thing.

I would think opening the flaps and vents even the door flap opened more would help when lights are on? if you can do that allow room air to circulate? I find that helps in my situation.

Sc0tt if you feel its not drying out fast enough, you can try doing a partial soil change.... its messy but a quicker solution

Lower humidity would help air movement helps point a fan at the soil. Take and post pictures in natural light please.

I made the rookie mistake of giving my plant too much water. Just looking for some advice on how to get it to recover asap. I'm a first time grower and my plant is in week 6 of veg. The plant has been seemingly healthy and thriving up until now... I'm letting it dry out. I've added an extra fan to the grow tent and turned up the heat in my grow area a couple degrees. Temperature is currently 78 degrees f. I usually keep it about 75 degrees f... I drilled extra holes in the bottom of my pot for better run off ( I think this was the source to my problem). So should I lower the humidity level in my grow tent? I usually set my humidifier around 55-60% ... Will lowering the humidity help dry it out sooner or will this cause the stoma to close and not allow the plant to process the excess amount of water? Any advice would be appreciated.
