Hi the leaves of my plant look bent/droopy and there are white\grey spots appearing on the leaves too. Can anyone help me and tell me if its due to overwatering or nutrient deficiency? The plant was doing really well but since last 4days this has occured and the leaves look thin and shrinked a bit

What are your temperatures? Do you have good air circulation? What about air flow fresh air into the tent and out? As well as across the plant?
Yes i have good ventilation. Temperatures stay between 21-24 degree celcius. I dont know if its coz of overwatering or nutrient deficiency since its my first grow
Your pictures are a little hard to see on my phone, but from your description you may have an early powdery mildew. It thrives in cooler temps and low air movement and too much humidity or moisture.
Your temps are okay, could maybe up them 2 degrees, say 23 min and 27 max. A small oscillating fan blowing across the seedlings helps loads. You can carefully wipe off those spots with a most tissue wetted with watter and a very small amount of dish soap. Think drops in a half liter. If they wipe off they are pm, so that is diagnostic.
If you are in an area where you can get sm-90 it's a great all purpose natural pesticide and will kill pm very easy.
You will probably be able to just warm things up and get the air moving across the top of that plant and wait for the pot to get light before you water and be fine. The spores from ppm won't land if the air is moving.

Thankyou for replying
The fan is switched on all the time to keep the air circulating and keep the plants moving.The temperature is in control, humidity stays between 40-50% and i checked its not pm its something else, even tried using the wet tissue method u just told me. Whatever it is my plant doesnt look healthy at all

Do
you think i should feed the plant? Could feeding fix the problem
Looks like you're in soil so no I wouldn't feed at this point. If you're in some other type of medium like peat or coco then feeding is required. It's possible you overwatered, stick your finger in the soil top inch should be dry next inch barely damp, before you water.
Those spots are likely splashes from other watering that magnified the light and altered the leaf color a bit.

Yes im growing in soil but this soil is an ordinary soil that does not really have any nutreints in it. I used to spray some water on the leaves after every 2-3days
Color looks good I wouldn't feed yet. Plants love misting with plain water and will get all perky. Probably the difference you see is just from not spraying.
You may not have any issues at all. Did you try the finger in the soil?
Yes i use tge finger in soil method for watering. I am growing 4 plants the other 3 are doing fine but this guy has issues. Just right now i saw one of the leaves lost a little chunk of it
