Definitely looks like under watering to me. Make sure to water wide and deep and to run off every few days and wait until the top inch or so is dry before watering again. If the soil has become overly dry, you may need to repeated the watering 2 or 3 times initially, to fully moisten in the entire bucket, from top to bottom and from side to side. Wait half an hour between waterings if you do need to rehydrate your container, this allows the soil to swell a bit between applications and helps to prevent the water from flowing straight through without being effectively absorbed. Cheers, Organoman.

I hope you have some drainage holes in the bottom of your buckets. I like using fabric pots. Because of the increased evaporation you will have to water more often (probably daily). A big benefit is the fabric pots make it very difficult to over water so you can be more liberal and apply more water knowing the excess can drain freely away and there is good oxygen to the roots so root rot is not much a chance.

Feel the leaves, if there thick and leathery and feel heavy then its overwatered. If it feels dry, papery or cripsy its underwatered. If they feel normal then your having another problem. This is how I have been able to tell in soil. Always feel your leave every few days.

That’s easy to figure out, is the medium wet or dry. They look thirsty, water those girls.
