I would say underwatering

Same, mine gets like that when it hasn’t had water in a few days

Perhaps I should customize my watering plan. Thanks for the advice!

I’ve heard it’s important to keep trimming the plant, I found a few videos on YouTube, might be worth a look through! (Just look up \*pruning basil\*)

I learned this last year with my basil in hydroponics that basil propagates easily and can be planted again to get more plants!!
