 Sativa Plant Wilting?

I recently aquired this plant from a friend, i know its a sativa and its been outside for a few weeks & its three weeks into flowering.
Well when i got it home i transplanted it into my compose soil and a bit of topsoil with a pound of decaf unbrewed coffee.
then i kept the plant under a fluorescent light and had a fan blowing on it.
this morning when i checked on it, all of the leaves were dropped down.
im not sure if its from the decaf coffee i added or i thought it was due to drainage so i drilled a bunch of holes in it and flushed the plant a few times to get the stagnant coffee out. Not sure whats wrong.

Well it's going to acidify the shit out of his soil, that's for sure. Fill out the questionnaire at the top.
This could be transplant shock, that would make the most sense. Also if it was outside, why did you move it indoors under floros, which are vastly inferior.

Well i come from the Shroomery, where 1 pound of coffee goes a long way by helping the mycelium grow rapidly and also it provide extra nutirence with make mushroom stronger in flavor.
I aquired this plant as a gift and thought it would help. Im now trying to flush the plant. Not to sure of what else i could do?

if u had no drainage hole that could mean u may have been drowning ur roots before you drilled holes too...

So stop flushing, and leave it outside. It's so shocked at this point that if you keep fucking with it, more than likely it will die.
Give it a day and see what happens, it may perk back up, it may die. But at this point there's not much you can do. If it's not perked back up by tomorrow, you could try a dire procedure.
What you'll do is fill up a big container, bigger than the container the plant is in now, with luke warm/roomtemp water. Take the root ball out of the container, and place it in the water. Ever so gently remove the soil from the root system, and then transplant into new soil.
Also, water straight from the hose is usually pretty cold, that would be addition stress.
