Anyone know why a perfectly beautiful plant would just die in a 24 hour period? Any way to flush its soil and revive it? Blue dream 4 weeks into flower. Use house of garden nutes.

house and garden makes great nutes. what kind of watering schedule have you kept it on? over or underwatering is a cause of leaf droop. you might want to flip the pot and perform a root check as well to make sure you dont have any underground pests eating up the roots, or any brown roots (rootrot, a sure sign of overwatering). how far are the tops from the lightsource? and what lightsource are you using?
we need more information!

It's 1000watt HPS, plants 2 feet from light, room temp peak 83 and humidity at 43% most of the time. Water every day, 2 cups. What do I need to look for in root rot and what is the remedy for such?

stop watering every day, the soil needs to dry out between waterings. once its become completely dry then water it until the water runs out of the bottom holes of the pot.
to root check just turn the entire plant upside down, squeeze the pot until the rootball slides out of the pot and look at the roots, if i had to guess, youre going to see brown roots. this is root rot. your roots need oxygen to be healthy. if theyre constantly wet then they wont be able to breathe, you are essentially drowning your plant.
i usually keep my plants about 18" under the lights. 83 is a little high of a room temp so its probably a good thing you dont have the lights closer.
the remedy for root rot is letting the roots dry out for a few days.
additionally, you should try to have the water run out of the bottom because it will help wash away some of the salt buildup from your nutes. try watering with just straight water after youve allowed the pot to completely dry out.

this is why i recommend rinsing out the pot on your next watering. i suspect you have root rot and salt buildup working in tandem.

You prob should have checked for the rot 1st, while the soil was drier/compacted.
