Are they gone after transplant

Thank you for your suggestion, why I am saying is overwatered bcoz when I touched the soil it was like mud full of water and water was not draining properly and for worst water got still in the lower plate under the plant for 2 days, which I think could be root rot, so somehow all these things got bad and plant suffered, you see these images, I think you will understand and see the soil, condition of it

the pictures do help. basically drainage is the issue and not overwatering, it's the water sitting there and waterlogging to soil. maybe transplant into soil that has some perlite etc to provide aeration and aid in drainage. that way if you did overwater there is a place for it to go instead of it sitting in the medium
i would defiantly, like stated above get used to lifting your pots to determine if you need to water.

What medium are you using btw?
if you are worried about root rot run water with diluted hydrogen peroxide h2o2 through the soil to somewhat sanitize and bring critical oxygen to those soaked roots

I watered my plant yesterday around this to time with around a gallon and has around 10% runoff but it has wilted today. It has been less than 1day

Your problem is the soil you're using. It's too dense and holding too much water. So on the days when you water or directly after, they're wilting from the root zone really just being under water altogether. After a few days its drying out enough for roots to get oxygen and then your plants are perking up.

This is a good lesson learned and will be a problem for this whole grow...but at least you know moving forward.

I work in 5g bags and when I water (every 4 days), I put in somewhere between 1.5 and 2 gallons. I get runoff in the 1-2 liter range per plant. But that runoff all happens within about an hour of watering. When my plants are smaller I can remove them from the tent to water, and I do so and let them run off before I put them back in. I rarely if ever have continued runoff after returning plants to the tent.

I have put perlite in them around 2 waterings before, then sldo it is holding water. HOW?

I gave my plant calmag diet around 10 days before it was in form of granules and i dig snd put it under the soil around 10 days ago, can this be any way responsible for it? And my another plant is also starting to wilt which I have watered today in morning and I also checked the ppm it around 600 bcoz somedays ago there was a slight burn of nitrogen snd it was around 1700 company has advised to give it in 8 days, can anything be part of the problem? See picture it has a slight burn of nitrogen

Pick a new soil next time? I mean you can't really remove the plant/roots from the medium now and replant it effectively. But on Tuesday you commented that when you felt your soil it was like mud...saturated and holding water. Grow medium shouldn't be a mud slurry even when you've watered a bunch...once the soil takes on what it can hold for water/moisture, the rest should be running through.

As I said above; This is a good lesson learned and will be a problem for this whole grow...but at least you know moving forward.

...and this is coming from someone (me) who grows in soil and only waters/feeds every 4 days. On that schedule I pour 1.5g through the pots when the plants are in early veg, then 2g or possibly more when they're larger. When I do water, there is no outward sign that the plants are thirsty (no drooping, wilting or loss of stem turgidity), then once I've watered they don't wilt down at all.
