They are cayenne yellows and i very likely overwatered them for a couple of days. However i have been basically starving them of water for 2 weeks now, only watering with a minimum amount every 4 days. The soil is dry even 6cm down (i cant confirm about wetness any deeper because im afraid to damage the roots), and the entire pot is 10cm tall, the bottom of the pot has holes and i carefully poked some holes into the soil for ventilation and they currently have had 0 water for 4 days, and this is what they look like on the picture. If i understand it correctly, it still looks overwatered. As you can see on the second picture, the carolina reapers look way healthier, possibly even underwatered, even though they are in the same pot as one of my cayennes, which looks overwatered.
Added closeups of leaves.
For context if it matters, all stems on all 4 plants are pointing upwards, with 3 exceptions pointing downwards and 2 at a 90° angle.
First time growing, i will gladly take any advice.
While im on here, i would appreciate if someone would confirm whether or not the carolinas look over/underwatered.
Thank you.

I have some cayenne outside, together with tabasco, reapers, habaneros and others, and DEFINETELY Cayenne leaves are the one that point more downwards.
From my (limited) experience it’s fine. From picture too they look completely fine to me
