Well since being topped this is her now its been over a week since topping. She has 4/5 weeks left in veg.. Not going to lie its been horrible English weather about 3 days of pure sun in the last week and a bit but hey ho I kinda knew what I was getting into with our shit weather lol.

Looking good!
need urgent help!!!!! Guys I thibk she maybe over watered. At first I thought it's a drainage issue as hardly any water was coming out so I poked new holes (very carefully) no water came out so I thought she's not flooded then... 3 days ago she was doing beaut perky, and loving life.. Now today she looked a little droopy so I watered her 3 liters as she's in a 40liter pot *45cm... And since then she's drooped even more so my guess is I've over watered being a retard. Or is she in nerd of re potting as all her roots are coming out the bottom of the pot . First few pics are from the 17th of July she looked fine untill yesterday the 19th that's how quick this change has happened, and the other pics are from tonight... Sorry if this doesn't make much sense I'm so high man just proper lost with why she's dropped she went into pre flower/flowed 1 week ago

I'd say don't panic--if overwatered just let her be for a few days and she'll recover. Is it hot where you are right now? She ought to use up the excess moisture pretty quick if so.
Rootbound is another issue--be ideal to have her in a bigger pot maybe but during flowering not best time to transplant. I'll let the more experienced experts weigh in.

I'm in the UK mate so temps of around 18-24 the last 2 weeks.. I have a feeling its a drainage issue as for the last few days no water has been coming out and like the fool I am I still watered her 3 liters today. Is it to late on to re pot her? I was thinking putting pebbles at the bottom of the new pot alot larger pot aswell as she's in flower but I don't want to stress her out . She is purple stardawg but would that make the stems turn purple aswell?

What sort of soil is she in?
Was it draining well before?
How often have you been watering?
I'm new to this so take my advice with a grain of salt, but given the stage she's in I might just let her be and try and maker her as comfortable as possible for the flowering. Repotting would have been better done during vegetation--from what I understand the stress of repotting might have a negative impact on her flowering.
Overwatering isn't going to do any permanent damage as long as you stop and let her drink up the excess, then only water as needed going forward.
I'll be curious to see your results...I'm growing a bunch of different Stardawg crosses here.

Hi mate I really appreciate the reply... The soil she's in I'll post a pic as I totally forgot but have the bag I used.. Drainage was fine untill around 2 weeks ago when I noticed hardly any water coming from the bottom, thought nothing of it just thought I didn't water enough. She gets watered every 2-3 days with 2-3 liters of water. I've re potted her twice through her vegatation stage and she's always been way more perky after, I am in a 50/50 mate do I leave her 4 days with no water pray she perks back up or re pot her tonight or in the morning... Also I checked her this morning she's dry as bone! Even an inch down dry as fuck mate, no way should she be dry after 3 liters of water yesterday but she feels heavy like she's fucking got loads of water.
Thought I had a pic of the bag mate she's in some compost been in the stuff from the start

Hmmm, not sure what to tell you, getting conflicting information here. If she's waterlogged just wait a bit, but if you're saying the soil is completely dry then that doesn't make sense. Can you tell if the soil at the bottom is moist by looking at the drain holes?
If you do decide to up-pot, do it at dusk so she has the night to rest and recover. Ideally the soil would be on the dry side (but not too dry) and then a light watering right after she's in the new pot.
Not sure what you have for compost but some composts can retain a ton of water and not drain that well. If you up-pot maybe mix in some material like perlite or lava rock or pumice that allows air spaces and water flow through the material.
Good luck--keep us posted.
