Also Temp is steady 70 for last 24 hours and there is no real change except that the leaf texture looks worse (it's more textured than it should be) this has occured in the last 24 hours.

Well what I'm thinking is if your temps are about 70f and you had a night or 2 of 60 or below your soil is not properly aerating . You need to get oxygen to the root zone .. I would carefully poke some holes in the top of the soil a few inches down or just above root zone to allow some air flow.. What I usually do is insert a straw just above the root zone and bent the flex end horizontal so no light travels to roots. Because your temps are low your soil is taking longer to dry. It's a case of over watering in my opinion.

I run my lights in veg 24-7. Yeah I flushed them out good . Thanks for responding I'm going to make some holes in the soil right now . They are drying out alot slower than they should . Ok I put a bunch of holes in the top 2 or 3 inches and the soil is waaayyyy too moist for sure 4 days after watering . Don't have any straws right now but I'm sure your right on about the roots not getting enough air . I also put a small electric heater in there not close to the plants but to stabilize the temperature . Lesson learned I really appreciate the help .

Sounds like a watering issue, from what I can tell from teh pics and what you're saying.

Soil is tricky like that because you can't water too much and you can't water too little. You need to do it JUST RIGHT.

I would check on your soil's dampness. It should be dry at the top, because if it's wet, you can have troubles with pests. And if you have too dry of soil, then teh leaves can droop from a lack of hydration.

Check your basics first before you start thinking it's anything bigger than that.

Too much light can cause leaves to droop. It does not sound like it in your case but if your plant is directly under the light you might move it to the side and see how it responds.
