Drooping plant, First grow inside

Over the last 2ish days my plant went from nice and perky to drooping all the way down.
I feared it was root bound so i transplanted from 3 to 5 gallon bucket. Its grown this much on just two cfl bulbs. Its just growing in some basic potting/top soil.

Is this a matter of just needing more light or something more? Help Please

some questions:

do you have any nutrients?

what wattage are your lights?

how often are you watering?

The only nuts would be the little white pellets in the soil. I'm not sure of specific brand or anything. They're just 23w soft white. One is hanging about 2 inches above the top, Ill be getting more lights relatively soon and different bulbs for flowering.
I water it everyday close to the same time. Not much though probably < 4 ounces of water

you need to cut down on the watering, and get them on a schedule. you also want run-off out of the bottom of your pot, so as to not get salt build ups from the nutrients. so...water until you have a bit of run-off...it is recommended to have 15% run-off, after you have watered untill you have the run-off. pick your pot up, and get a feel for the weight...pick it up once a day untill she feels really light, and the soil is very dry...not bone dry, but you want the plant roots to have to search for water...thats what keeps them healthy. then water again once you are sure she is dry...this little bit everyday wont be good in the long run. and that is also why she is drooping. you are watering to frequently.

ya i'd bet you just werent watering enough. ya getting things on a schedule will help the plants be healthier, and also help you remember if theres a problem what you did on what day...just makes everything alot easier. alot of people keep grow journals for that reason. keeping a journal wil also help you to become a better grower, and help you solve your own problems...best of luck! and if theres any more problems down the road dont be afraid to post for help.
