I just got back home today after 3 days. My plant is very droopy, my friends have been arguing if it's over watered or under watered. I believe it's under watered and just watered it, but I want some opinions for help. The new leaves are looking good, but all the older leaves are turning yellow and extremely droopy.

Over and under watering look similar
Let the soil dry out, if it starts looking better soon it was probably underwatered
If it starts looking better after the soil is dry it was probably over watered
Let the soil dry between waterings

It's weird, it bounced back within a few hours. It was looking better 2 hours after I posted it, and now today it's looking like it should look. It's around 6.5 inches now. I'm thinking about changing to flowering stage soon so it'll stay a little over 12 inches.

If it's 6 1/2" already it'll get bigger than 12" bub. I'd guess 24" or so if u flower at 8"

This is a really old post, that plant was male. However, the rule of thumb is that it'll double in size when switched to the flowering stage. It's not 100% accurate, but it does give you an estimate.
