First Time Outdoor Grow

Based on the combination of outdoor temps, size of plants per available root space, and frequency of watering(edit: mistook volim for OP), I would pay close attention to the turgor pressure in the plants. When it gets hot the plants working a lot harder to move that water and keep the pressure high. If the root zone starts running out that's when your plant droops from less internal water pressure. Whatever watering tactic keeps the turgor pressure levels high and even, without having excessive runoff, do that. That's the zone you want to stay at in my opinion.

You shouldn't have to worry too much about root rot as long as your soil has proper aeration.

Mine pot's are camo and plant's don't need sun all day long outdoor's you have to have shade too in dead heat.I put mine to where the plant's get shade part of the hottest part of the day.They don't need 12 full hour's of sun in pot's. And the plant is budding all sucker leave will turn yellow and fall off if you don't cut them out. That will help if BREATH. You mix growing indoor with outdoor way's .Good luck.Dixie

Outdoor grow keep it simple. Rain water is the only thing that water's mine never checked P H before it is outdoor grow.To many leave's can't breath stop putting a bunch of shit on it. If you don't trim it will keep going down hill. It will cool it down and they are coming off anyway.That's just me Outdoor's since 74. Dixie.

Yup! Unless you’re running off a well, municipal tap water is just fine. Most I do is leave the water jugs full overnight to allow any mineral dissipation. Outdoor, keep it simple like @outside Dixie mentioned. Solid airflow and under canopy clear and let er rip!

Just looking at the leaves, you may be overwatering them, that droop is what I've seen when I was learning how to water, and overwatering can cause leaf yellowing and dying. But it IS normal for leaves to yellow and die during flower, just make sure they're getting he nutes they need. 90dg plus temps should not be an issue, it's 90's into the 100's here each year. Like Herb & Suds mentioned, try spraying the pots with flat white paint. I don't know that was ever an issue for me over the years, but I did it after feeling how hot the outside of the pots were.

BTW no need to PH tap water, unless you local water supply is terrible, soil should buffer. I would PH when you feed though, Tiger Bloom is just brutal until adding PH Up
