SOIL Dropping leaves

Drooping leaves? But they feel dryish. Noticed the problem 3 days ago. I think I could be under watering, not sure. I have the plant in an old dresser that I've removed the drawers out of. Lined the walls with foil and cover the front when I'm away. I water once a day out of a water bottle with 5 holes in the cap. I have 3 heat lamps 2 with 100w LED bulbs and 1 with a 75w LED bulb. I've uploaded a few pictures so it's known what I'm working with. I haven't been using any nutrients.
 
When you're watering your plants, are you getting runoff water out the bottom? If not, I suspect the soil at the bottom of the container may not be getting wet, causing underwatering over time. Is it possible to post a picture of the plant in the setup?
 
No I don't normally see runoff water. Also the plant is now in it's 4th week ​​​​​of growing. I'm slightly over cautious I suppose... I've read the most common mistake is over watering. After reading around the site more I feel it could be a number of issues. I don't have a fan on it either... I also haven't been messing with the temperature or humidity but I'll go get what is recommended to keep it thriving. Here are the pictures at different angles.
 
If they're already 4 weeks old and you're still not giving them enough water to get runoff out the bottom, I think that may be the root of your problem, especially since you also initially suspected underwatering :)
 
Thanks for the help, I have a fan on it now and I'm working on a new and better water schedule. After reading around about temperature and humidity I kinda think that could be an issue. Any suggestions on where to get a gauge to check the humidity?
 
I have two Thermometer/Hygrometers, just so I can compare them against each other :) This is one that works well, and I've also been very pleased with this one. That second one is made for incubating eggs where humidity is more important. As a result, the humidity numbers are actually larger than the temperature numbers, which is odd, but I feel like it's the most accurate one I've tried :)
