Droopy after topping (pics)

I topped it 2 days ago and it's been droopy since. I can already see the new grow but just wondering if she's ok. Maybe too close from the light? It's at 18"from a 600w LED

The leaves are good and green - but kind of look like they are overwatered. Anyhoo ...

I VEG full grown ladies at 22" under similar 600W blurples so 18" is a bit close for small plants like that. Raise the LED to 24" and give it a few days to see if she responds. Waiting those few days will also give your substrate a chance to dry out - assuming that it is over watered.

That pot doesn't look very big ... do you have your 5 gallon adult home ready for her? She might also benefit from a transplant.

Thanks, I'll work it around 24 then. I gave it some water this morning wondering if she was thirsty (because of the droop). I could transplant but I just transplanted them from a red cup a week ago and the roots weren't super big so I doubt it's full now. I'm waiting some perlite to arrive in the mail so I'll do a transfer with also adding it. Would she handle more stress?
 
@StareCase so she's still droopy but I can see progress on the new grow at least. The environment must be fine now as the smaller one started showing rapid growth and looking happy

If the fan leaf stems droop mid way, it needs water, if the fan leaf stems are pointing up but the leafs are drooping, it's been over-watered! The first pictures say, it was over-watered!

Seriously such simple and great advice. This could help so many new growers.
