Over watering? Asked a similar question before but want to save this plant

This has gotta be overwatering, right? The soil + pots I'm using don't seem to drain very well. Started drooping like this when I added a humidifier at around 70% relative humidity. Maybe pushed it over the edge? Going to home depot. Perlite? Change out the soil? Better pots?

if you want to control environment consult a VPD (vapor pressure deficit) chart... they will suggest Temp/humidty for each phase of growth. As far as overwatering.. are you allowing it to dry between irrigations? top 1" should be dry and pot should be lightweight. you need to stick to a wet-dry cycle and if watering habits are the problem, it will clear up quickly. if you transplant, go ahead and put a bit more perlite or vermiculite or hydroton in your soil. this will improve drainage. 50/50 substrate / coarse vermiculite would be best because it also provides soem silica that your plants can use. people grow fine marijuana in all sorts of pots from cheap plastic to expensive airpots. does it have an impact? maybe.. but nothing like good habits and providing maximum intensity light for your environment.

Thanks again for your help. I am starting to get on a regular watering schedule by putting my finger in the soil, then watering if dry. They drink at different rates. An issue might be that I got each of these plants at different stages of development. Clones from one source were much larger and more mature than clones from another source. Another issue is I keep fooling with too many variables at once. One change at a time, and that is a patience thing that I need to learn. I believe you answered my earlier question about the yellowing. I took your advice and removed it from the tent and it has improved a bit. Pruned the yellowing leaves on another plant and it hasn't come back yet. The source i got it from told me that particular strain (the mac & cheese) is a bit temperamental so growing it with other strains in the same tent probably wasn't the wisest choice. Anyway, thanks again. First grow so maybe a lighter touch is in order. Seems the more I fool with them the more problems I have.
