Bro I'm not expert but I think you're definitely over watering!?!? Soaking them on a daily basis is not a good idea. I'm not too famaliar with transplanting, but I think your goal is to keep a "moist" soil, not a soaked soil. I'd drop the lights a bit close too, i grew under a 400w for my first grow and kept it about 18 inches away. Hope i'm correct on this info, and it helps.

Plant is young and green = good sign.
The droopy leaves are due to the leaves being heavy due to over-watering.
Water your plants so that the soil is moist, not soaked. Do not water your plant again until the top inch of the soil is dry. Over watering can cause your plants roots to rot, as they need to be dry at times for gas exchange.

yea man, let the soil dry. Very popular mistake is thinking that your plant always needs water. Take the real world for example: it doesnt always rain, and weeds dont have deep enough roots to reach into the water table. So, one can only reasonably assume that the plant does not need to be wet all the time.

im not an expert; but im confident that you have found your problem. However, plants also become droops when they NEED water. Leaves arnt yellowing so nutrients seem fine for the most part. What are your grow temperatures?

BUT IF YOU WATER LOTS LIKE YOU SAY>>>TRY WATERING LESS AND SEE IF YOU HAVE A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM

the problem is most def. over watering..when watering you should wait untill top inch and a half to to two in. is completly dry before watering again.
