Suggestions for Lemon Thyme plants
I recently got 3 little lemon thyme plants, (Lemony Snicket, cLemonThyme, and John Lemon) — they were happy for a while and I repotted them, they seemed to be doing just fine, but now after a couple of weeks they’re becoming… dried!! I swear I’m not overwatering them, not that I know of. They’re in a northern window with indirect sunlight.
Does anyone have any suggestions for this particular herb? I don’t have any direct sunlight windows, but I have grow lights if that’ll help. Idk, they’re all so sad looking now. 😭

If they're drying out, usually the issue is underwatering rather than overwatering. If it's not a watering issue, it's also possible they're experiencing transplant shock. Did you use a different soil medium than what they were in before? Abruptly changing their environment can also cause transplant shock.
As for the amount of light, they prefer to get at least 3-4 hours of DIRECT sun, but they can also get scorched if left in direct sun that's too intense. I'd consider moving them closer to the north-facing window so they're getting direct sun, or set them up under a grow light. Depending on the strength of your lights, they'll need anywhere from 10-12 hours.
