Yes. Bottled water. You only have two cups going.. not sure what your plan is for these.

Watering properly might help. Soak them good and don't water again until the pots feel light then soak them again. Feed every 2nd time as a general rule.
Reverse osmosis, RO, or distilled water is my preferred water and the only thing I've ever used. Lot of minerals in most tap water that end up causing problems.
Could be your higher temps and lack of water causing the drooping or possibly root rot setting in at the bottom of the pots. That would restrict the plants ability to get the water it needs. If they are perked up when the lights come on it could be that or just the cooler temps early in their day.
Looks like coco that you are growing in? Whatever it is it could use some perlite so maybe add about 20% or so when you move them to bigger pots.
The plants look pretty healthy so maybe it's those big fat leaves just too heavy to hold up that's making them droop.
I found a great spot to download FREE POT BOOKS . I downloaded a grow bible first and getting some more. Book looks great and complete like the real one I have here. No web site but just a page of links. Just right click on what you want and then "Save Link As" to download so they don't open first as many are 50+ megs. They got lots.

Put a fan across the canopy to help strengthen her ... If this is coco , did you pre charge it with nutes ? Feed at 6.3 ph. Heat may be causing some stress as plant transpires ( how water is carried thru plant ).

Not a water softener is it? Will go from bad to worse.

Hard water is bad but softened water is worse. It swaps out the carbonates for sodium and chloride that will kill your plants after a while. The ppm can be higher after going thru the unit too.
Reverse Osmosis water is usually a lot cheaper than distilled. Mainly because it doesn't need to be boiled so it's much cheaper to produce. I get 5gal/20L jugs for $3. I'll get my own RO system as soon as I can sell my distiller. It came with the house but I haven't used it for a few years and RO is cheaper than the electricity to make pure water with the distiller. Damn thing was $3000 new so I should be able to get a decent RO unit with the money from selling it. We buy RO for drinking too as our house water comes from a dugout on my property and isn't potable.
