Drooping leaves

I transplanted this lady 2 days ago. Had her in seedling starter soil in seedling pot, she was a bit root bound. Noticed the leaves are dropping down. Soil felt dry so I watered it a bit any idea how to fix this?

adjust your irrigation habits.. .water entire thing until there's some minimum runoff (for soil). wait for top 1" to dry, then repeat. Feeling the weight of the pot at this point will be the best signal to water, going forward. it'll use the same volume each time -- the missing weight. you can't know how much this is until you do it. after that you can more accurately mix up fertilizer to avoid waste or irrigation water stagnating as it sits around. Whether you fertilize or not, this is the procedure to stick to. if you use the same pot size and same substrate composition each time, it's going to be a similar volume each time, too., you can get familiar with it, but only in hindsight. i'd suggest more perlite with soil. closer to 50/50 including what comes with the potting mix. this will make droopy leaves caused by irrigation vitually impossible. This may not be the cause this time, but will also promot healthier root zone and happier plant wiht greater growing potential, relative to its genetics. if you think the rootball get disturbed or what you transplanted fell apart a bit, it could just be recovering. i think a week of normal irrigation habits will probably fix the problem. if leaves get extra dark or start "clawing" more, reduce concentration of fertilization. google image search "marijuana leaf symptom chart" or similar... you don't have any issues now, but when you do using the chart will teach you about it as you encounter things. anytime it seems confusing, it's more likely nute-lockout or ph-related. simple symptoms are easy to adjust to. you look it up on chart, and reduce that component as best you can without impacting other stuff too much. i think this look to the leaves is related to watering habits, though.

Sounds like it is just a watering issue. There may have been some shock from transplant. The soil you added likely had a different ph then what was wrapped in the roots after use. This can cause transplant stress. I would just pay close attention to the leaves and what they are doing. It seems water related at this point. Happy Growing 🌱

Drooping leaves after a transplant can result from a lack of water check the soil if is too dry give it little water. also, it takes about 5 to 7 days to get over transplant shock
