I think it's Part to blame from over watering, and partly due to poor soil. It looks to me like drainage is bad. Cheap soils often retain water for longer periods of time, so it is not ideal for growing marijuana. Some plants will respond better or worse to having over saturated soil. Something like fox farm or roots organic is good soil made especially for mmj. If you really want to use the stuff your using currently, then I suggest getting some peralite to get better oxygen to roots, and improved drainage. What I would do if it were me, is I'd get some new soil, and transplant them asap. Water less until you do that. Let the top inch or so dry out before giving it anymore water.
Good luck.

I agree with the above, 3 days without water is not a long time. You need to do some reading on soil choices. Improve the quality of your soil and learn to let the plant dry out, those two things alone will improve your grow.
Get help here but always use books to confirm what you are told here.
If you don't have or can't afford the books use growweedeasy.com
If you can get the books:
Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible
or
Marijuana Grower's Handbook by Ed Rosenthal
