HELP !!!Plant is drooping after 2.5 weeks into flowering stage

Hey guys,
First time grower here. I am growing lemon haze og auto. One plant, indoors in soil. The plant was all good and healthy through its vegetation state. 2 1/2 weeks into the flowering stage in the time 12hours the leaves just drooped. Like overnight !! I unearthed a bit of soil to check the roots and the top most are white and there is no rotten smell. But the soil felt really wet, clingy and tight. So I am thinking of unrooting the plant and replacing the soil at bottom.

What do you guys think? Any better suggestion. Will post pictures if required.

Ps - I am growing in a deserty country, in a metal wardrobe, in an air conditioned room. It's very strict laws here so impossible to aquire cannabis related product.

Whats your temps at? Your soil looks very dark, maybe wet as you stated above? Id maybe try repotting her into some good rich soil and mix in some pearlite for drainage. Just grab a bag of fox farms ocean forest or whatever good soil you can find and it should have enough to keep it fed throughout flower. Have you been using nutrients at all? Its possible now that shes hit flowering, and if you haven't ever transplanted or used untrients, shes sucked up all the food in the soil and shes now using up everything stored in the rest of her for flower production. Just my guess because Im also seeing a lot of dead leaves and yellowing which shouldn't be happening at 2 weeks into flower.

The only chance you have is to let it dry out - Not likely as that looks like dead roots!
Over-watered!
Let the soil dry out pretty much between waterings!

i removed the plant from the pot with the soil intact around it like a wet cake. whatever roots were available for view were all white and again no rotten sink. so i guess i can rule out root rot and go with nutrition deficiency. however i changed like 50% of the soil. kept a bit of the old and add some new soil. as for earlier nutrition i was using the regular nutrition that i could find here. i made sure it contained the basic minerals like potassium, nitrogen etc. now i will see for a couple of days if there is any change. ill post updates if this thread remains active.

thanks for all the diagnosis and advice. Really appreciate it.

When you pull it out of the pot you shouldn't have a "wet cake." It should be mostly white with roots wrapped around the dirt if the roots have filled the pot. If not, the surrounding dirt should not cake up, it should just kind of fall away. I highly suggest next time you get a bag of pearlite and mix about 20-30% in with your soil to add some drainage because it sounds to me like your plant is suffocating in wet, clumpy dirt.
As far as the nutrients go, Ive seen many people use cheap plant foods and get away with it. I would just make sure the npk is at least somewhat conducive for cannabis growth. Good luck friend!

Looks like severe overwatering, nitrogen toxicity, overheating, and if the overwatering didn't cause the mag def, I think it may also be locking that out.

Transplanting autos is a bad idea. You'll stunt it at the worst possible time. Sniffing and looking at roots is only done in hydro. Let it dry out, don't feed so much.
