Two days of dry soil shouldn't cause any problems. Need pics.

Hmm... that doesn't look very serious to me. Maybe it just got a little dehydrated. I'm sure it will be fine. Otherwise it looks like a healthy plant.

That Plant looks ok...Hmmmm maybe a bit young to start it flowering. Cover one of the small branches with a dark bag to force only that branch to show its sex.

twisty leaves could be a ph issue. without knowing the ph it could cause problems. are you using nutes at all? imprper wet/dry schedule will cause a ph imballance also.
8 bucks for a cheep liquid ph tester

oh, she looks thirsty. thats just droopy, i thought it actualy curled up.thats iether to dry or wet. from you saying you haven`t watered in a bit then water it

first feel how light it is since she`s probably bone dry? then water it with ph`d water untill you get some run off. then dry till just before they droop again. the leaves will be pointing towards the light if thier happy.
