I topped it 2 days ago and it's been droopy since. I can already see the new grow but just wondering if she's ok. Maybe too close from the light? It's at 18"from a 600w LED

The leaves are good and green - but kind of look like they are overwatered. Anyhoo ...
I VEG full grown ladies at 22" under similar 600W blurples so 18" is a bit close for small plants like that. Raise the LED to 24" and give it a few days to see if she responds. Waiting those few days will also give your substrate a chance to dry out - assuming that it is over watered.
That pot doesn't look very big ... do you have your 5 gallon adult home ready for her? She might also benefit from a transplant.

Thanks, I'll work it around 24 then. I gave it some water this morning wondering if she was thirsty (because of the droop). I could transplant but I just transplanted them from a red cup a week ago and the roots weren't super big so I doubt it's full now. I'm waiting some perlite to arrive in the mail so I'll do a transfer with also adding it. Would she handle more stress?

@StareCase so she's still droopy but I can see progress on the new grow at least. The environment must be fine now as the smaller one started showing rapid growth and looking happy
