You probably watered the plants often and as soon as you see that the soil dries up, but it must be about 4-5 cm dry, stick your finger in and see, but if the first one is correct, it is normal that they ask for water more often and now you have to water them like that, on the hottest days you will have to every day, and maybe even every day in the morning and evening... next season try option 2 and you will see that the plants will drink much less water and the watering will be reduced to 4 to 7 days, instead of the day to two, they will be more resistant to drought and all sorts of other things... your plants are healthy, they are not hungry, they are just thirsty and unfortunately spoiled, and that will take you a lot of time and the problem is that such plants can die if you don't water them one day when they ask for it... while plants watered by the farming method can endure drought and it is not a problem if you forget to water them. I had the same problem until a couple of years ago until I figured out what the problem was..you can't believe how much one little thing can mean a lot. except that you didn't time their watering well, everything else is perfect, the plants are beautiful, and I believe they are even more beautiful when they put up their leaves. Wait for the sun to go down and the temperature to drop a bit, then water them and see that this doesn't happen to you often, it's a lot of stress... I don't know how hot it is here, but when they're this thirsty, the heat could kill them, and I don't know what to tell you, is it worse to water them in that heat or leave them dry in the same place... no matter how you turn it, the stress is great in both cases. Maybe move them to the shade until tonight, until watering. Happy Growing!

Couple reasons why a plant might be droopy. Not always a problem, alot of the time it's a response from the plant purposely closing down the stomata to prevent release of water faster than the plant can access it through uptake. It's summer so things are generally hot and humid. This means there will be lots of cooling going on, the more a plant transpires during the day the more pressure is built up, the more pressure generated through stomatal conductance the more erect the plant will be. Plant transpires around 3x as fast at 86f compared to 68f that's only accounting for temps, throw in some wind and its 4x. If a plant's environment is dicating a speed at which it wants to release water way faster than the plant has capacity to do so, plants will surely it's guard cells to close stomata to reduce the loss of water otherwise she would run dry rather fast is she was pulling out water as much as she wanted to. 90% water use daytime is transpiration if you plants wants to x3 x4 it needs 3x 4x the water. They look beautiful, I need to get me some outdoor grows on the go. Best of luck.

Deine Pots sind relativ klein für die Biomasse der Pfanze… Du müsstest wahrscheinlich öfter Gießen an warmen Tagen… Zum Tagesende und zum Tagesanfang lassen sie auch die Blätter hängen das ist normal… Aber bei dir liegt es eher an der geringeren Potmasse und Stifftöpfe die schneller austrocknen… würde morgens und abends gießen.
