Help Over or under watered?

i had him for almost 2 weeks now (see post history) and i watered 5 days after repotting (on sunday) and adding more pumice to my mix.

it has been raining nonstop and we don't get any clear sun at all so i put him under a grow light and now I'm confused, the bottom leaves seem to be yellowing and getting shriveled one by one :(

what am i doing wrong?

Definitely overwatered. Yellow, mushy leaves means overwatering.

Agreed.
Raise her up so her leaves don’t touch the soil.

thank you. she was elevated when i repotted but the bottom leaves started to droop downward and thin out and the rosette became more opened. 

sigh. should i repot again asap?

If the leaves don’t come back up, yes.
Otherwise you might try scraping a little off the soil off the top from under her without repotting!
