They are over watered in my opinion.  You might think the soil is dry but in reality, they probably are quite moist and this is not a good time for extra water when they are this young.

The reason I say overwatered is two fold.  One, I have had the exact thing happen to me with incorrect soil drainage...which ended up causing my plants, who were similar age as yours and started in jiffys or something similar to yours (which usually is 100% peat moss or some other non draining medium) and I then transplanted them into 3 gallon containers, with a medium that had to be wet of course the first time of transplant.  My leaves and plants drooped and looked exactly like yours.  I actually had to look twice to double check it was not my plant ahhahaa. 

Now they are doing much better and I did not water for 7 days.  The soil was dry on top, but if I dipstick checked and even used a soil hydrometer, they were still moist enough.

They stood up uber and spread their leaves looking beautiful as each day went by.  Finally when they were dry as they should get, which was less than a 2 or "Very Dry" on my hydrometer, I watered them finally and even took it easy on how much I gave them.

5 hours later...they are drooping slightly in response to the moisture or watering I gave them...and look again very much like yours do.  This is ok as I have heard and read that this happens when they get watered often and then the following day will be back to normal etc.

My basic understanding is that the leaves droop when they get watered because they begin filling up and drinking up the water into the leaves...adding weight at first to the leaves until the process of expelling the water takes off again.

If you only recently did that transplant, I suggest getting them into 3 gallon containers with a moist medium now while they are still not reestablished in those small pots and then do not water them for a week and make sure before you do, they are DRY.  When my plants were bone dry, the leaves fanned out straight and even.  Drooping leaves is not a sign that they need water...exact opposite in this case.

The soil in your pics looks *wet* to me so again it is either overwatering, improper drainage or the 100% Jiffys/Peat medium they started in...but I am more likely to think one of the first two.

Good luck. I hope this info helps.

And to reconfirm, my plants that I watered yesterday morning and they had drooped just like yours look once again by end of the day...now today, they are all back to normal, leaves fanned and spread looking healthy and beautiful.  Seems like smaller plants need about 24 hours after being watered to kinda get back into handling the increase of water they suddenly have.

As a novice, if I water them and then 10 hours later they looked droopy like that, well I would have thought, oh they need MORE water...and gave them more...when of course, it is exactly opposite.

Good luck :smile:

Happened with mine as well.  Also some yellow spots.  All further damage ceased on transplant and proper drainage and watering.

The seed leaves may yellow/brown and fall off, even the first leaf too.

Transplanting them at this point so soon after the last one is not advised really.  They may be stressed from what they have gone through.  Are you seeing new growth and how is the new growth looking?

I just watered some starters today.  They are 1 week from sprout.  Container is bone dry now and they have just started second node of real leaves.  They are green and alert.  Tomorrow, I expect to see them droop all day as the other have done under watering conditions.

Hope your plants survive. If you are seeing positive, healthy new growth though, I would still not worry and just keep an eye on them, mostly on the new growth.  Bad leaves, they don't fix usually.  Over time they lose them as they are too weak to compete anymore.

Give it some more time.  Also, my new sprouts did exactly as I predicted, drooping 1 hour after watering.

Given the age of the plants, it is highly unlikely you are going to save them.
