Default underwatered or overwaterd?
PICTURE IS IN MY SECOND REPLY, SCROLL DOWN

I re-potted my plants 2 days ago into bigger pots. The soils has some type of nutes in it and the packaging says "feeds plants for four months". But, i got some nutes anyways, added some to some water and watered my plants.

Now, my leaves and stems are very droopy and/or floppy. They dont fan out anymore, they just sag down towards the main stem. 1 leave has even shrivled, it didnt turn brown, its just a darker green and pretty dead looking. The rest of the leaves are still green, just droopy and I can tell something is obviously wrong with the plant. I also have not watered the plant since friday.

Without pictures it's really hard to tell it does sound like it's over saturated though, how often are you watering, and does the pot/bucket/container have proper drainage at the bottom?

You can probably expect some shock from the repotting to unless that just went perfect..

Well seeing how your lights are arranged it actually occurs to me the leaves are facing their broadest side towards your light which appears to be on the side of the plants and not above.

Put your lights above your plant as close as possible without burning.

well the thing is, the "droopy" leaves started prior to me puting them under cfl's. Wed they were fine, thursday i moved out of my dormroom, where they got direct sunlight and tap water, and after my 3 hour car ride, the leaves looked like they do now. Friday morning I got soil and lights and put them in a cabinet and they have not improved. I will try raising the lights, but, if this does not work, because I have a feeling it will not, what should i do?

My guess is it will take a while for the plant to show improvement under weaker light source.
Outside it was getting like 10,000 lumens over every part of the plant.
Now, it's probably getting a fraction of that!

well, im attempting to flower it so im using 2 2600 lumen cfl's. BUT, while i atleast have someones attention, let me ask you, if i throw in a third cfl labled "daylight" but according to the packaging has only 1400 lumens, would that help or hurt the plants? I am not looking for some dank bud here to be honest, im really just trying to see if I can grow it. If it grows and i get something smokable out of it, that will just be a bonus.

I am trying to gorw these plants using the bare minimum for my first grow, just to see how it turns out, not because im lazy, but because I want to get a baseline for what kind of results I would get if i give this some serious effort with real lights and nutrients and a ph kit.
