Reads like a lot of rain. Maybe overwatering? What kind of pots are you using? Does the potting mix in the rootzone get a chance to dry out before the next rain?
Edit: Another possibility is the potting mix is too hot (overfertilized). I don't use that brand myself, but I've read folks that do like to mix it with Happy Frog.

Looks like they just need some more water.
U think so? Cuz before I took that pic it rained for about 1 hour maybe 2 they def get enuff water in my opinion
I could see over watering but my other plants seem fine but ik each plant is different so.. maybe

How long has it been droopy? All of a sudden with the rain or always?
Just recently tbh it’s been a rainy month and they have been lovin it I haven’t watered them at all since transplant and they have been flourishing definitely my biggest plants so far

You might be surprised at how much water a plant that size can consume. Also, how little rain actually reaches the soil those pots.

Exactly...I find that when the leaf canopy extends beyond the border of the pot that the rain has a hard time penetrating through the canopy and into the container. Try watering and see if it helps. Lift up the container, if you can, and feel if it is heavy or light. Good luck
Thanks I’ll do some small trimming of big fan leaves to get sum rain in there betterExactly...I find that when the leaf canopy extends beyond the border of the pot that the rain has a hard time penetrating through the canopy and into the container.

1 or 2 hrs of rain will not soak your pot unless it's pouring hard for most of that time.
Your plant looks like it needs water

Is this a gorilla grow?
Pulling leaves is not the answer. They will grow back quickly. In fact the plant will shift energy to make sure that happens.
It's pretty straight up. You need to water it. Pulling leaves and hoping for rain isn't a great plan imo.
Get a watering can.
