Plants going on third day of dry droopy leaves

Hello, i have a couple plants that i started as a random experiment a while back, its very low budget and whatever happens to them happens. as of a couple days ago i watered them with bottled water and the leaves started to shrivel up and droops pretty severely. i think its a pH problem but i do not have a pH testing kit nor the money to buy one. it started on just one plant but now i notice the same thing starting to occur on the second plant. could this be a disease? i am doing a low budget grow, i have 3 60w soft white lights, 1 14w florescent light, and one 100w red spectrum flood light. i have a ceiling fan i sue for ventilation. i have taken pictures and will attach them. any help/tips/advice would be marvelous. i have drawn boxes around the problem areas. sorry the pictures arent very good as the only camera i have is on my shitty phone.

how good of drainage does your soil have? it took me around 10 days of not watering to get my bottom leaves to perk back up in peatmoss.

are you having green leaves drop off? also any yellowing? have you noticed any fungus gnats in your grow room they can also cause lower growth to die off.

id say overwatering. youll definatly get some more opinions though how often have you been watering and how much?

i know the larger plant is a sour diesel strain, not sure what the other is, but it doesnt really have a potent smell to it, is that normal?

it wont for a while. some get really stinky in veg but other dont smell much till flowering. ive got 3 sweet tooth a chronic and white russin at 8 weeks flowering and they stink up the house. my carbon filter does nothing. your soil dosnt look like it drains to well how many holes are in the bottom of the bucket? when i let mine dry i tried to let them almost droop from drying and 10 days didnt do it. a five gallon bucked can hold alot of water especially at the bottom, even though the top is dry the bottom can stay wet.

i dont have many holes in the bucket, i didnt think about that before i started >.< i will go find a drill and use it on the bottom, would that have any chance of hurting roots?
