My pepper plants got a weird leaf curl that took a month to fix

Turns out it wasn't bugs or disease, just my own overwatering. I had to let the soil in my 5 gallon pots dry out completely for over a week before they bounced back. What's the longest a simple mistake has messed up your plants?

Is overwatering really a simple mistake though? I see it as the hardest thing to get right. The line between enough and too much is so thin, and the damage takes forever to show. My worst was with a tomato plant I basically loved to death. It looked fine, then just stalled for almost two months before I figured it out. That kind of slow damage feels way worse than a quick pest attack.

So how did you finally figure it out, @tylermason?
