My plants always drooped a bit after I watered them when I grew in soil I wouldn't worry about that and ur leaves look fine.
 
Your plants look fine. I wouldn't even worry about it. The best way to tell if your watering too much is to buy a moist tester they sell in gardening store for about $7. I usually let mines go about a three and then I water. I would probably wait 1 more week before you transplant.

The cheapest way to tell if your plants need watering is lifting the pot. If its very light - they do.
And it works pretty darn well ;-)

The twisted new growth and pale vains could be caused by root binding. In any case a bigger pot with a proper soil mix (don't skimp on this one! google up LC's mix for some nice simple mixes) and use the lifting method to tell when to water and it should solve pretty much all of your problems.

For the benefit of any1 who reads this thread, i found out the problem, the leaves continued to droop evan tho i made sure not to over water them and 5 days after the pics were took i got a few rusty brown spots on leaves and the bottom, then the next day one plants leaves were crispy and would flake off, so i got the bigger pots ready and transplanted em all, i had only watered em 6 hours b4 this and when i took the soil out of the original pot it was bone dry and the light hadnt evan been on so i gave em a good soaking and within 6 hours the leaves were all pointing upwards and they looked much more happy.
so the problem was the soil was drying out way too fast so they were underwatered and that made a def in the plant which gave em the rusty spots, now i see what they mean when they say overwatering looks the same as underwatering.
