Droopy leaves, what's going on?

Hi guys,
Here's my girl, she has been planted in a 3 gallon pot, my organic medium is a mix of light mix, worm casting, hydrated lime and mycorrhiza. Never gave her nutes because she looks like she doesn't need, no deficiency signs.
Everything was fine until I tried an easy LST to give her more space in the room: it's been a couple of days that she's droopy like that.
I think it might be overwatered (I give her 0.25 gal of decanted water every 2-3 days) so I will wait a few days to water, but what do you think?
Thank you in advance.

Are you watering until runoff?

what organic medium did you plant it? It has nutrients but only for so long.

you need a little Epsom salt.

def signs? Purple stems are the start of a def.

1/4 gal of water every two or three days? My 3 gallon pots take between 1/2 to 1 gallon depending on how dry it is

Thank you for the answer.
Everytime I water there's a very small runoff, the medium is a bio bizz light mix.
Every plant I have grown has purple stem, I think it can be caused by UV lights.

It looks ready for nutrients. Do you have any selected that you’re going to use?

Yes I have already an organo mineral fertilizer, with NPK 5-6-4. Do you think I should start?? Seems like she has already a lot of nitrogen tho

Get some other opinions I think it’s ready to feed one dose. Let other people respond and see what they think.

I don’t see dark leaves or claw (N tox signs) and I see some lightening on the top of the plant. That is sometimes just the color of new growth

She looks fine to me. Maybe a bit over/under watered causing the droop, but otherwise looks like she has good color and structure.

Let it dry thoroughly between waterings, and then water slowly until you achieve light run off to be sure your soil is properly moistened... then let it dry completely again.

Hey I got some news, seems like mag deficiency is showing up. I don't have Epsom salt, do you think I can directly feed a little?
Thank you.

I’m confused by your question.

if you’re going to grow you’re going to need Epsom. IMO. You can get it at a pharmacy if need be.

I will buy it tomorrow, can I ask you the doses?

Anyway, when do you think I can start with nutes? I'm scared other deficiencies will show up
