Dude it is probably because the bottom leaves are not getting any light it's not to big of a deal if it started awhile after you watered that could be your problem but i would just bet your bottom leaves are ready to fall of if it is the very very bottom baby leaves

Looks pretty wet! Let the soil dry and see if it perks up. Too much water will do that.

Plant looks basically healthy.. that being said it is stretched big time.. You didn't add what lights....I'd say light is your problem... I've vegged 2 plants using 2 X 26W CFL on a Y splitter ($15.00)..and put them close approx 3/4 - 1".. check heat on back of hand.. not much can be done about stretch now, but as I said it looks OK. health wise... no burn, wilting, twisted leaves..etc... Luck.

Stretching looking for light..with CFL they must be close.. nothing will repair it but get light closer and it'll stop stretching so much...

droop is usually too much or not enough water/feed. (stretching) you have to get that light closer. when you're not using hid lighting, it takes them a lot longer to dry up. you can raise the temps and put a fan blowing on the medium to help it dry.
