Overwatering opinions

Hey guys, very new here and very new to this in general. I am growing a feminized autoflower Northern Lights strain in coco coir/perlite mix. I'm growing in a space bucket I've made. Being a dumb noob, I overwatered from the get go and my sprout's leaves are very limp. It's standing up pretty good, just the leaves are curled over, I'll post a picture. The top of the mix is now pretty dry but immediately below it is totally moist. I have decent drainage I think (lots of holes on bottom of pot). Anyways, do you guys think she will survive?

Other facts:
2 fans - 1 in, 1 out
average temp with lights off - 75ish
lights on - 80-85ish
Lights - 4 x 23w CFLs (1 2700k, 3 6500k)
Nutes (when i get to that point) - canna coco A&B
Light schedule - 18 on, 6 off

No Picture, sometimes that feature breaks though

I think you are fine. I remember I "loved" my plants to death. But they were falling over and stuff. I researched and found out it was damping off due to the constant wet environment.

Thanks, I hope so. I stopped watering it yesterday all day and it's still pretty wet about half an inch down. Hopefully it will dry out today or tomorrow. Should I go with a 24 hour light schedule until she rebounds or just keep it at 18/6?
