Since you gave so much information, my guess is that it just gave up it's will to live. Possibly deep depression. Sorry for your loss.
what info would you like? I use Gaia green additives in soil so all I do is water when dry. I watered all 4 last watering and then just this one plant decided to die.

How long has this been going on? What sort of soil are you using? When you say you water when dry, how are you judging this?

Same as the other 3?
I wanna see the healthy ones.

Not all plants eat the same
It looks like you let it get to dry and then never really got it back on track
Your others will do the same if you don’t stay up on it
At this stage you may need to even water daily

It started 5 days ago. I’m using Gaia living soil with all natural and power bloom along with worm castings. I go by weight for watering. When they are light I water which is anywhere from 2-3 days.

Pretty sure with Gaia, along with almost all organics you never really want drybacks, better off watering a consistent amount every day and keeping as even soil moisture as possible. That plant looks like it's trying to grow in a desert, and if it's not from underwatering that's the crispiest I've ever seen a plant get from burn.

Those are not fine
I would frankly just start over
You won’t get an ounce total out of the lot
You might have lighting issues beyond your lack of veg time
Sorry

Interesting. Sort surprised by your watering and setup but I still think it's possible root rot. Symptoms seem to fit; wilting all over the plant that seems to get worse regardless of watering, plants dying within a week. What's the roots like?
How many grows have you done?
Just a question about your soil, I notice the top of the pots don't really have any pumice/rice hulls/perlite showing, are you adding any aeration to your soil or is that just because you top dressed and it's covered? Not that you're having visible overwatering issues like drooping or anything like that it just stuck out to me.
Also how much light are you using? I'd say for those plants if you're running LED you're gonna want at least 400w at the wall for a 4x4 to grow any largeish plants.

I just top dressed today which is why it looks that way. tent is 3x3 and im using a 240w quantum board along with a 145w blurple.

I have a 240w quantum board along with a 145w blurple. Is that not sufficient? Im not concerned about over all yield as this is my first grow and I just wanted to test things out before I popped good seeds.
this is my first indoor grow. when I yank the plant out I will pull out of pot and inspect roots.
rh is 40-45% and 80-84 degrees lights on and lights out is 69-73 and 55%rh
I feel your pain. I'm raising 2 random photos and have treated them mostly the same until learning they have different needs likes and dislikes. Like you I'm trying to learn as I go. I recently totally forgot to water one until I noticed it drooping. Looked at notes and realized my mistake. Then I compounded the problem by giving it flower nutes as I had just flipped one and began a new regimen. So used to giving the same feed. I think I overwatered as well during the feeding. It's been unhappy for a couple days now but appears to be recovering. Had to resist the urge to flush in case it was already overwatered. The first reaction for me anyway is to give it something to make it better when it's likely puny because of giving it something it doesn't want or need. All we can do is learn from our mistakes but first figure out what mistakes were made. Way more knowledge here than I can impart but if it were me I'd use it as a learning experience. Maybe repot if id's not totally dead. See what the roots look like. Maybe try to determine soil ppm? Verify accuracy of ph pen? Something caused it to shut down.
