they aren't 2 gallon pots I dont think. More likely 1 or half gallon I think. How often are you watering? What's the soil pH, are you waiting for the soil to dry out between feeds? What nutrient doses etc.. More information might help pin point where you've went wrong.

Using biobiz outdoor pack nutes, and letting the soil dry out completely before watering maybe every 3 to 4 days, don’t have a ph tester which I will buy, I have a feeling the root bound issue is the problem which would maybe make sense as to why they seem easily over watered
Also assuming there are root bound is there anyway back from that?
Auto's tend not to respond well to transplant so everyone says so I would proceed cautiously with potting up if you do decide to do it. Might be worth it but it could also shock her a bit too much? Bit of a tough call for me to suggest which way to go with it.
Could I just leave as is and water very lighly?

- ifthe roots were damaged badly enough, they have died off partly, and what's left can't keep up with demand... it'll be a while before they regrow, meantime the plant will suffer this, poor nutrient uptake as well,.. never ever let it dry that bad because of this, and don't use a nutrient solution to water either, just plain water....Yeah, over/underwatered plants present the same in appearance, but the reason is different... overwatering will suffocate the roots, O2 starving them, and they die off... same effect, different cause basically,...

Re-hydrating soil that has dried out completely can be difficult. Some particles can become hydrophobic (repels water). Coco coir is notorious for it. It will help to add a surfactant to the water. Yucca is a natural one or a couple of drops of liquid soap (not detergent) as well as commercial ag products.
The best way to determine when to water is to start with a pot the size you will use to grow in. Fill it with damp soil and weigh it on a bath room scale write it down and heft it. Then water the pot to 20% run-off. Wait 1 hour weigh and heft the pot again. Now you know the minimum and maximum weights of water for the pot. Water when the pot reaches ~40% and water until 5% -10% run-off. Ok so in realty not many will actually do all of that but at least learn to heft your pots.

Glad they have perked up!
I see you went for the copper tape, as did I. I then did some research, apparently doesn't work lol. I'm sure the pellets will do the trick! Not actually seen any slugs in my garden.
