Should I invest in a Grow light? Or normal drooping? Noticed this one drooping leaf on the right today.

Probably an old leaf getting ready to die. The others and plant look fine! You’re doing great.

Plants take environmental cues on a similar way to the human body (I.e circadian rhythm changes and SAD with season changes). Similarly, during colder seasons, and at lower light levels, they will adjust their leaf amount/size to maximize their energy acquisition-expenditure balance. Even if they drop all their leaves and you’re left with a brown, tentacle-looking crispy stem, rest assured that they’ll come back once ready (given proper conditions)
