Does this look right?

First grow. Just starting the 8th week for this ak47 autoflower. Ive only used natures living super soil

Lately the plant is always droopy. Additionally, I think it has powdery mold so i used apple vinegar/water spray last night.

just want to see if there is anything im missing here to make sure i get to the finish line....

thanks!

Over or under watering, perhaps?

The leaves feel dry and papery. How can i tell if im underwatering vs overwatering?

Overwatering is probably the most common. The roots are oxygen deprived and cells rupture due to oversaturation, the end result would be droopy, dry, papery leaves. You dont ever want your soil to be dusty, but it shouldnt be consistently soaked either. Rule of thumb is to water slowly and stop as soon as you see runoff.

You needed to post photos of the plants before you sprayed them with vinegar. The vinegar adds too many variables to be able to identify your issue.

Post pics again after a couple of waterings (without misting anything) so we can get an accurate representation of plant health.

This is about a week before the original pic above. Its had this general droopy appearance for a good bit now. The plant was staying moist for a handful of days after watering.

Drainage issue as well as white mold?
Did i take too many leaves off?
Its a miracle this thing is still alive

What are you using for water? This looks more like residue from hard tap water to me.
I suppose the vinegar would help either way though.

Yes, the tapwater is hard. Should i do something about that?

Either filter it with a BRITA or start using RO water. I get 5 gallon jugs from Walmarts Primo refill stations. Most walmarts have them in the water aisle. To refill my 5gal jug is less than 2 bucks. Shoot, I've gone in there and just filled up 5gal buckets! They dont seem to mind, you just tell em it's a 5gal Primo refill.

Eventually minerals from hard water will build up and your soil will start repelling water. No bueno.

Thanks for the help. I got a brita filter for my tap.
