If it were me and I was stuck using those black plastic disaster pots I would dig pits to sink them away from the sun, then loosely pack some peat moss around them.
2 min lolIf you put a time lapse camera on her you can watch her drink and the leaves can recover in maybe a half an hour if this is the only issue. Aqua man has a video here somewhere that shows the plant recover in like 8 minutes, not even time lapse, in front of your eyes.
I also have heat issues and I'm 2 too 3 gal a day as well, a thought if your pot gets really hot that might have the roots overly warm really new to growing, most of what I see here is way above my abilitiesSoil is a mix of coco perlite potting soil. 40/20/40 kinda ratio.
I feed general hydroponics when the pot is light to carry. Run off and feed around 6.5PH
This plant stays outside 24/7 there has been no rain in the past 3 weeks im confident it is not overwatered.
There has been some high heat days recently, around 35 celcius/ 95 fahrenheit. The plant would look really droopy after a hot day but would recover and return to perky over night.
My plant has looked droopy now for 36 hours and im not sure why.
Most recent feeding was at the end of a hot day. It was droopy but perked up overnight. The next evening it started to droop and has not recovered.
Photos are of same plant 2 days apart.
Anything helps.
Much thanks

Much thanks sure you figured it out but as was stated. Your girls are thirsty. Especially being in black plastic pots,they will get beat up in the heat. Mine are in 15 gal smart pots and they're usually parched within 24-48 hrs depending on heat and sun. I'm up in the thumb by the lake and even we've been hit hard lately with heat and drought. I just Give em a good ol soaking and don't over think em is my philosophy good luck
Yo I’m not a pro far far from it but my plant looks like yours but less bushy (mine is less) but this heatwave took my waters from every 3 to 2 times a day. Just be careful - she NEEDS water.Soil is a mix of coco perlite potting soil. 40/20/40 kinda ratio.

how far apart were the pics taken?Needs LOTS more water during heat waves. I’ve got two in 15-gallon pots (a bit bigger than yours) and each is getting 2-3 gallons per day. Yours could easily take 1-2 gallons per day. FYI…during prolonged periods of heat, skip the normal rules of “let it go dry” before watering and keep her happy. I also started covering the soil with foil insulation to keep heat off soil.
