It looks droopy, overwatered, overneuted? Here are the questions we need answered:
Soil, what is its composition?
Water, nutrients, how often, how much, PPM, PH, etc?
How long after watering does it take to dry out?
Basically it goes like this,
Soil: you want airy soil...lots of perlite...usually a 1:3 ratio of perlite to potting soil(if it already contains perlite). This will give the drainage needed and the only way you will suffer from overwatering is if you drown the damn thing every 12 hours.
Water/Nutrients: Only water when your soil is dry, the top usually gets crusty. Its best to underwater than to overwater. At this stage you should also be only giving your plant fresh water, no nutrients, or you will stunt its grown, burn the leaves, or possibly kill it off. Once the lady is healthy looking and 2-3 weeks old then you can start introducing nutrients at 1/4 strength and work your way up over several weeks to full strength once shes really doing well. PH, you want it between 6.5 and 6.8 optimally, but anywhere around there is fine for a soil grow as long as you soil itself doesn't have a completely retarded PH.

Oh hah, totally thought that was a solo cup...ok yeah then your PH needs to be around 5.8 for hydro, GET PH AND PPM METERS STAT!!, how do your roots look? Are they a nice bright white or are they browning already? And what kind of hydro are we talking here? Aero? Bubbleponics? Film? DWC? Flood/Drain?

Drop the hydro kit if you're not 100% prepared for it. At this point you're just shooting yourself in the foot by trying to go hydro without at least a pH kit. I suggest replanting into soil, finish that grow and by the time you're done maybe you'll be ready to go at it hydroponically.
