Lack of water?

So 2 of my girls are very droopy and just so sad. Nothing in there routine. They didn’t look like this yesterday when I checked in them. Should I water them more? I looking in the help section and i could only find that it might be lack of water. First picture is before I watered them, second picture is the same plant but after I watered them. The third is of the second plant with the same issue. So definitely more lively after I watered them but those yellow leave, should I prune them?

If they are sitting on cement and it's 100f i'd raise them up off the ground. Half of my containers are sitting above soil and cement. I put 4x4 blocks under them or a milk crate something like that. You could be cooking da roots. I'm watering 2xday because it's dehydrating the plants an pots i got abit of wind all the time too.
 
SoOrbudgal makes a very good point about soil temperature. It's a problem I dealt with for a number of years. When the container and the soil get hot it can kill off your beneficial bacteria that help keep PH in balance as well as helping break down your nutrients to be absorbed by the plants. This year I tried to remedy the problem by purchasing drain mats and light colored cloth containers. I've been monitoring soil temps with a digital heat probe and it's working like a charm. I would suggest you try and keep the containers up off any hot surface and top dress your containers with fresh compost to reintroduce good bacteria back into the soil.
 
I would let those ugly leaves stay for a while yet, they can still give up the moisture in them along with some mobile nutes.
Yes they need water and off that concrete, just go out and lay on it in the sunshine and see how long you can take it.
 
Hey everyone thank you so much for the help. I keep my ph at 6.5 and give everyone a gallon every other day. Do you think 1 pallet would be high enough or should I double them up?
