This, exactly! Cannabis is resilient. I've dropped pots, split stems, etc.. I'm a a klutz, but so far they've all survived me haha. I pop plants out or transplant anytime is needed from seedling to mid flower, no issues.
If she was routinely over/under watered I would def expect to see more leaf symptoms by now. I'm still curious about ph? Do not water her every morning, I think he may think you're still in coco.
Don't lift out. Put your hands at soil with stem between fingers and have friend flip over. Then gently work out if she doesn't just fall out. The weight should be on your hands, rather than pulling her from the pot. If this doesn't make sense lmk.. You do NOT want to pull any plant out a pot ever, and def not one that size. The less shock the better.

Well the good new is, she is literally not getting any worse..in fact she actually looks a bit better to me. It's possible the root zone got slightly dried out from underwatering - to point of being compacted. You add holes, and more water twice, water gets through now. Then light flush so super soaked, but water flowing through medium again. Now roots recovering from slightly drying out/flush and she is shocked therefore not drinking correctly yet, so still drooping and leaves dry to touch (without showing any other signs of wilting.)
Thats my working theory at this point lol. Explains why she would look pretty good overall yet continue to droop. If she is still soaking wet then I would let her dry a bit more prior to popping out.

I don't see where you told us what size pots the plants are in? Did I miss something? Usually a three gallon is sufficient but a five gallon pot is better. That's what I use. (what's the UK version of 5 gallon? Lol. Ok...its almost 19 liters...I just looked it up)
Your plants looked good to me. Healthy. Plants will droop if they have wet feet as well as when they need water so it's confusing for the gardener.

Peat moss that hasn't been properly hand worked won't absorb water. So it's not doing the plant any good.
She looks fine to me. Plants droop at night to early morning then start reaching up in morning. A bit like dandelions closing in evening or dark days. The main thing is when you water....water don't fool around. Don't dump water into one place. Instead go round & round plant until fully watered. Water running out is a bad sign! It means soil is forever flowing in channels through missing dry soil! Remember this from me if nothing else please, water follows water. I don't agree with watering everyday as cannabis hates wet feet but drying then dumping water through channels in soil is a sure dead plant! Full slow watering okay after drying, I do this everyday during flower but allow plant to dry for 2 to 4 days depending on plant & location 
every several weeks until final feed which is at least 1 month before harvest. I then give nutrients as compost tea & seaweed in her water to end her drought. Add bread yeast or a beer to tea & even some mollases. Each plant is different & some need water after 1 day so never stop watching! Drying soil to where pot is fairly easy to lift allows oxygen into soil & buds gorge on new food but it is dry dry dry so water her until little water flows through soil or put her in a tub & let her soak from bottom up. Auto flowers dislike being moved but if done rapidly no biggy. Regulars no problems. In my opinion & it is cannabis can't be root bound as that just means your pot is too small. This means all other things being correct...food & light & watering she will become a perfect dwarfed plant! If she is gangly the requirements are wrong. Below is a plant minus bottom limbs & leaves. Grown in a yogurt container

yeah peat just isn't a great medium to be growing in
Well I took her out guys!!!! She felt normal I think she was becoming root bound by the pictures I'm about to show... She wasn't soaked she had gone 3 days no water thags only beacuse I needed her dry to pull her out... At first things didn't go to plan lol she was to big for the shape pot I got so has to clean out an old container make the drainage holes and she's now in her brand new container. just fed her as she had been 3 days no water I gave her 10 liters untill run of water came through, but its just started to piss it down here the joys of English weather lol but anyways thank you for all your messages its helped me out alot fingers crossed she perks up in the next few days... Still not got any worse just dropping but she was only re potted a few hours ago
P. S I had to get me mother to help me as mate was at work lmao

Sweet! Shes gonna be a happy girl in a few days. Don't worry if she doesn't perk up right away, as shes a bit shocked from the move. She def needed a new container, and with no other symptoms you've likely found your issue. Great job!
Yeah lol I kept thinking to my self I never changed her watering so it made no sense lol but thank you for all your help hopefully like u say in the next few days she perks right up couldn't believe the root system on her was crazy think she would of died if I left her any longer it was my own fault for filling the pot 3 quarters the way up lmao..... I'll send you some pics in the next week to let you know how she does xxx

Yvw! Her watering is going to increase. Don't stick to a set amount, give her what she needs. Shes healthy, in new home, and going into flower - her drinking will surely increase. Water until you get runoff.
Ha, you are UK. Have a friend from there, and shes always ends her posts xxx. Looking forward to upcoming pics!

Ready to pop open a beer and have dinner so I won't be back to respond for a while and I only skimmed through the thread.
Just my 2c.
If the problem is over watering or under watering, every picture I see looks like over watering.
The plants I'm looking at have leaves falling over but the stems to me are not bent over much.
One sign of underwatering would be lower leaves start dying to allow water to be delivered to the newer growth. Another sign would be the overall plant would loose luster. I'm not seeing that.
If there was poor drainage the plant will try to unload the excess water through the leaves causing the look shown.
The reason all the roots are at the bottom of the pot is because overwatering is causing the soil in the lower section of the pot to remain to wet and the roots wrapped around the rim of the pot.

Hey mate thanks for the reply by all the pictures you can see it's the stem/branch the leaves aren't full of water and where dry to a touch. Like the newest photos she was re potted and when she was took out the soil was perfectly fine not soaked and not to dry she came out nicely.... I thibk she was root bound and by the pictures you can see how crazy the root system was..... She's in a brand new container now had 10 liters of water and it pissed it down hopefully in the next few days she's back to her normal self
Hey thanks for the reply mate yeah I thought they looked great I'm glad she's our of thag 40 liter pot now and into a new one will update with pics in the next few days
Yep I'm going water untill I get run off every time now I know her drainage is fine in this new container so hopefully all goes well now and yeah lol I have a habit of putting xxxx at the end of a message haha
Just got home and Day 1 of re potting and she's already perked up way more from yesterday still a tad droop but I did pull the fan leaves down a little few weeks ago to make room for the lower bud branches to absorb the sun light... Probably a stupid idea lmao... 100% think this was about to be a root bound issue but got there just in time, there's no way she would of perked up like this 24 hours later if it was anything different in my opinion anyways lol
