Leaves drooping bad

Alright, i'm new here and new to growing, but i've been looking around through the threads quiet a bit, and thought the real only way to get some good answers is to post pictures.

So my 3 month old Sour Diesel plant just started drooping hardcore about 2-3 days into flowering. Changed from 18-6 to 12-12. Plant was doing GREAT before this. Haven't changed any of my habits really, water every other day, probably less than 200ml. Got the plant two weeks ago from a friend.

The plant is still very green and doesn't seem to be dried up, but i'm new so i dont really know. Leaves are curling under from the sides.

I have 7 24watt CFL's for this one plant in a grow space about 2.5x2.5. Lights are around 1-4in away.

I left it alone all day after discovering it this morning to see if they'd get better, but the rest of the stems and fan leaves joined the couple that started drooping.

Any ideas anyone? Overwatering? I also usually just mist the leaves, but stopped 3 days ago. Also i just put holes in the bottom of the bucket today. Maybe the roots needed O2?

looks like overwatering.

If that bucket didn't have dranage holes, then making some was a good idea.

I would wait until the soil dries, then when you water. Water until some runs out then stop.

Wait for the dripping to stop them put back under the lights

Alright, so i actually ended up making a good water mix with some nutes, soaked the bitch, and now she's sleeping, and already she's about 50% better. Leaves and stems are picking up good. I'm pretty sure it wasn't getting enough O2 to the stems. Also i'm going to switch her to a 5gal. bucket this weekend. Found that the roots were filled in the 3 gal bucket

yeah good idea, but root development usually stops about 2 weeks into flowering so i wouldnt even bother risking any kind of shock to the plant during flowering

do not water for 3 days then on the 3rd day poke some holes in the soil with a thin sharp stick-like object. then water. Good Luck!!!

Drainage is probably an issue, what is your soil mix? It's too late to change it now but for the next time we might be able to help make sure this doesn't happen again.
