So I just watered my plant with some tap water and now the leafs seem to be drooping? Is that normal sometimes or should I be worried I haven't watered them in a few days so figured it was time so I don't believe there over watered

Shit's pretty normal. I used to be scared by that myself but they perk up pretty quickly as you have prob already seen since this was made yesterday.

Drooping leaves is a sign of needing water. In the vegetative phase more extensive root development is a result of waiting till the leaves droop down.

Just for the sake of information: you know there is over watering when the grow medium is wet and the leaves are drooping.

They were just fine before I watered them so they weren't super dry. They drooped after I watered them so yeah the soils gonna be wet and that don't make much sense saying there drooping from lack of water and drooping from to much water

He didn't understand what you were talking about. :( I saw that post too and was like, "huh"? Mine droop too the second I water them. Idk why they do this but I can only assume it may be a natural response because the plant thinks it's "raining", and so makes the leaves point down for the water to get as close to the trunks roots as possible.

For the most part, you want to let them droop just a bit before watering, then they will perk up before drooping again instead of staying droopy. If the plant is perked up, but the container is a bit light then you could go slightly longer before watering again.

Yeah I can't really go by the weight thing it feels pretty much the same either way I just see if the under dirt is cool feeling and cracking bad on the surface
