Drooping Leaves

hey everyone, i went home to my family for two days for thanksgiving and while i was gone, my roomate gave my plants some water. but now that i'm back, i've noticed the leaves aren't nearly as perky as they should be. I wish i knew exactly how much water he used, but the soil at least feels slightly moist. The temperature may have gotten a little high while i was gone, but now it's around 74 degrees and the humidity is at 36%. they're in fox farm ocean forest mixed with perlite and under 9 cfl lights. Is this overwatering? underwatering? or something else?

Whats the temperature of the room ?? Looks like on that picture that your leaf edges are curling up and you have quite pronounced ridges on your leaves ?? It maybe that you have damaged your roots a bit by being to wet and they are struggling to take up water or your rooms to hot ?

EDIT

Sorry just read the post properly :( Your humidity is very low !!! You want it around the 50 60 mark for the growth stage. Humidity is very underestimated as it can cause a calcium def !! along side with stunted growth and yellowing leaves when coupled with high temps and or lack of water. Lots of people I know have mis diagnosed low humidity with lots of other things only to make the situation worse :D

it was overwatered by my roomate. there was no real way of telling since i didn't do the watering, so i figured it would be a safer bet to wait another day, and sure enough, the plant perked up overnight.... he overwatered. thanks for all the input guys. i'll post some pics later so everyone can see the difference between an overwatered plant and when it dries out

here's the plants after the soil dried out and got watered again and got some good ol' fashioned tlc. let me know what you guys think. i plan on cloning it and sexing the clone in the next few days.
