plants droop during middle of day?

I dunno how hot it is where you are, but watering with ice can ease heat stressed roots very effectively in hot ground.

according to the picture... she is fine... and not "droopy" from what I can see (the pic is side ways lol).... as fas as your watering goes.... a little underwatering is far better than overwatering... and it all depends... how big was the hole you dug, how did you amend it or did you just through in bags of premixed soil, when did you transplant into the ground (gauging by the picture my guess would be about a month to month and a half ago and if thats the case and say you dug a 2x2x2 hole, then 5-10 gallons well spread beyond the size of your hole every other day is sufficient) how much direct sunlight, wind, and RH are also relative factors though)....

she didnt look droopy in your pic... so I dont see a problem... but as she grows and temps rise sun is out longer etc etc. water about the same amount of water you have been with slightly increased frequency. it all depends is the only real answer to your question as not nearly enough info or pics is present to give you a strait answer

I respectfully disagree. She looks stressed to me. Yea she'll perk back up likely after the it cools off, but a good drink will keep it from doing that at all. Does depend alot on soil content though for sure.

Whats with all these sideways pictures ?? Im seeing them all over the place. I took a second closer look... I suppose what I should have said was- it doesnt seem as though the plant is stressed to the detriment of its health.

Besides... for all we know the day had a high humidity and no wind... which could easily produce the same kind of droop

I know that slight droop really well... thats how they look on the morning I water them ... or sometimes even the evening before lol...

well the loadeddragon they were put straight into the ground in febuary from seed shes done the rest . the soil is just what was here when moved in

then you definitely lucked out in having good soil
