Overwatering?

I thought I might be overwatering so I stopped watering for a few days and allowed the solid to dry but the they continued drooping more and are starting to look worse.

Any thoughts?

Man it's hard to tell with such little information but it's definitley very sick. It looks to me like a watering problem. Whether that be too much or too little I don't know. You also need to take a photo in normal light so we can see the leaf colour.
 
Here are some photos under regular lighting, sorry about that.

They are under some cheap black box LEDs, two rated at 450W each which I’m sure they’re not pulling. Tent is 2 X 4. Temps have been pretty steady around 78 dropping to around 70 at night. Humidity averaging 40-50%.Water being Ph down to 6.5 ish

One of them seems to be doing alright and has been treated the same. These are all just bag seeds this was a first grow / trial run.

In the first pic, do you see how the top leaves are kind of droopy? They still have some health left but they're arched and not flat. That resembles an over watering condition may have happened recently (but not definitively). The leaves on the bottom of the plant appear to have no life left . They just fall straight down, parallel with the main stalk of the plant. That's an indication of under watering. The second plant shows signs of the same thing. The third looks like it's fared a bit better.

So they're definitely thirsty, but may or may not have had an over watering situation in the recent past.

Are you in soil or peat? 6.5 pH for soil, 6.0 for peat (Promix, Sunshine #4 etc)

Got it which would make sense ... again I thought I had a over watering problem and so I stopped watering but, probably should have just watered less.

I am in an organic soil potting mix. Dr.Earth
 
If I had to take a stab at it, I would say over watering also. Maybe the one that’s doing better has stronger root growth which is why it can handle the watering. But on a side note, I would be extremely surprised if you don’t end up with a hermie considering those are bag seeds. Still smokeable, just chucked full of seeds. Good luck

Just to update on this if anyone comes across the same thing. You hit it on the head. I did not mentions that I had recently transplanted these from small 3” pots to 1 gallon pots. I think I was over watering the small pots transplanted and was severely under watering. After a few days of heavy watering (water till run off is seen) all of them are looking much perkier and happier.

Thanks all for the help!

I appreciate you confirming the diagnosis. Thanks, and I'm glad things are looking better.
 
Here they are today! Flipped into flower last week. I think I waited to long as they look they are going to outgrow the tent height wise. Any tips to stop that.

Supercrop, lst or top them to control the height. Supercropping is pretty rad.
Maybe try a different technique on each and see what the plant responds best to.
