Those are clay pots? Clay will absorb some water. I'd say every day to every other day, depending on how much you water. Both frequency and quantity are important.
Plants do tend to droop a little just after a watering, you're right. I notice this in my plants and I don't purposefully get the leaves wet. That said, I just feel what I'm seeing in your plants is the effect of what's turning in to be habitual overwatering. Not a big deal, those leaves will die off/get pulled soon enough. As an experiment, try not watering for a whole day and see how your plants react. I'm pretty sure they won't mind. And it's perfectly OK for the top layer of dirt to dry out completely, preferred even. Once you get some new growth, the leaves are all pointed up at your LED's, and the edges are nice and sharp, try not watering until you see them wilt. The way the leaves behave does look very similar to overwatering, but the appearance of the leaves themselves won't change.
