Never a pain, lol. But I want you to see how what you're saying doesnt match up to what needs to happen, lol. For example.. You just said you will let it dry out more and then look for other causes... That's not the answer bro, lol. Who said it needs to dry out right now? That's what I mean about being in the "watering lane".. If the people driving in the watering lane can't add water, they won't do anything, lol. That's dangerous. Letting it dry out is the answer IF the soil is still moist at the middle and bottom of the pot! You haven't confirmed that on this post yet. What if it's dry? No need to Let it dry out right? Step one is to find a way to confirm if your soil is moist or dry at the root zone. If it is.. Let it dry a bit... If it's dry.. Give it water.
It looks like overwatering.. It sounds like overwatering.. It looks like soil compaction and sounds like soil compaction.. But you never mentioned what kind of soil it is, the drainage of it ect.. So we could be wrong.. You could have a soil with tons of perlite that drains quickly and dries fast.. That's why you are the only one who knows the real details. We can only give our opinions. You can actually shove your fist in the soil and know for sure.. My suggestions are all based on the whether the soil is moist or dry at root zone.. I've also suggested that it could be a light issue.. It may want more light.. I suggested raising the plant up higher for a few hours or lowering the light for a few hours to see if the plant reacts.. As far as room environment.. Try moving less air.. Which will raise the humidity.. Which will help the soil to not dry out as fast.. Maybe raise the speed/power of the exhaust to lower temps.. Trying those kind of things cost nothing, and hurt nothing. Im confident that you will get this figured out bro!
