Suddenly droopy- please help!

I am posting pictures of two of the triplets- one seems to be reaching for the light, but the other one is drooping suddenly. Can anyone tell me what's going on? Thank you!

Looks like over watering to me dude. Let that sucker dry right out and you should see it perk up. Peace.

I had to douse the soil of all three with gnat killer diluted in water, and that is when the droop started, so maybe it was too much for the big girl. So she will be okay? Thanks!

You were right! I did some research that suggested fixing overwatering by poking some small holes in the soil to aerate- and that worked like a dream.
Droopy is no longer droopy! :)

I`m glad you sussed it out dude, i like to water mine then leave them to dry right out before watering again, this helps the roots to gain strength. You might want to look at bigger pots at some point in the future, you`d be amazed as to how big a rootball can become even when your plants are quite small.

Best of luck.
