My leaves have been dropping one by one ever since i fimmed my plant, the last time i watered was about 3-4 days ago so I doubt its overwatering. Im thinking its root rot, cause the bottom leaves have been dying first and drooping and its slowing been moving upwards from every stem..If anyone has suggestions that work i will rep you and thank you lol

It could still be over watering if they didn't need the water when you watered them 3-4 days ago. Root rot would imply that there was an over watering issue or that the pots aren't draining. What size pots are you running and do they have drainage?
yea it has draining, and i put a piece of what looks like a foil plate under it but whenever i check theres no water on that plate so maybe theres something wrong? if it is overwatering how long would it take to recover and if it is root rot what could i do to fix it?

With over watering there really isn't a time table necessarily as to how long it will take. It's basically just until they dry. If you have a dehumidifier, throw it in front of that for a while. I've even take the root ball out before and set it in front (not recommended). Otherwise, just let it get really, really dry before you water again. The pot should be very light when you pick it up before you need to water.
Root rot is unfortunately 90% of the time the end of your crop, especially at the early stage you would potentially have it. Get some hydrogen peroxide and mix that with a water mix next time you water if you think that is the issue. I don't remember the exact dosage, but I will look.
Basically, first priority, let it dry out if you think over watering and/or root rot is the issue.

i think your grow area is too hot or you might have over/under fed it.

water when it feels dry when you stick your finger 2 inches into the soil. its what alot of us do.
probably is overwatering, yeah the other guys are right.. wait until the soil is dry before watering it. root rot is not easy to fix if it is too far along. also i see you are using cfl's. i have used daylight cfl's and i had heat problems because they got a lot hotter than i thought. you dont think cfl's get very hot. and usually they dont, but the daylight ones seem to be almost twice as hot as normal cfl's. if the temperature is over 90 put a fan into your set up. have you started feeding yet? do you feed it every day or not? it doesnt really look like salt build-up. usually nute lock makes the leaves curl and stops growth. also you said you fimmed it.. could have something to do with it also.. good luck dude

add 2 fans in your setup either way, its extremely important for the air to get vented and new stuff pulled in. also extremely important for stem and branch strength.

if your soil is still damp after 3-4 days you either have drainage issues or its too cold in your grow room, if it is still damp they are obviously sitting in stagnent water, no o2 around the roots so i would sort the drainage by transplanting into a mix with more perlite & get more holes in my pots. once i had done that i would flush to get the stagnent water off the roots and keep em somewhere warm so they dry out quick. Worked for me.
