Is this drooping of the leaves concerning?

Haven't watered in 3 days. The soil dry on top but darker a few inches down and feels cold/slightly damp. Not sure if that is considered "wet" still. The larger leaves are almost touching the soil. I'm just trying to be extra cautious not to overwater but still learning the plant

High Khando, this drooping does show the lack of oxygen at the roots. You can prevent this issue by only watering at the outside of the pot and not too close to the plant. When you do this the plant has enough water at the outside of the pot and enough oxygen at the center of the pot. This will solve the drooping. Happy Growing Buddy! 💚

Following the advice from Berry, dark and AsNoriu will not harm your plant so feel free to try all three paths. Preferably one after the other and not simultaneously 😅 I have also had the first pair of leaves hang like this but thought it was due to the plant not being strong enough yet to support the weight. Your plant looks otherwise healthy. Had the leaves really been sagging.. and laying half flat on the soil... then you would be having clear issues.

This looks like they have enough water, make sure not to water too much as the roots probably didn't develop in a big pot and might just create pokets of water in the soil. My plants are usually drooping before lights turn off and a bit after lights go on. And during the middle of the day the leaves are stretching out more, so maybe check at different times of the day. They do look healthy, happy growing 🌱

Think you are lacking humidity in air. Plant looks like well or even slightly overwatered, but growing in low humidity. At least mine looked very similar in such conditions.
