Over watered or poor drainage.

Watering frequency is tied to environment... In your case it's too often or your drainage isn't good enough.

I used grow big with good results, the plant looks mature enough to begin feeding but it seems your soil is still holding nutes as your plants leaves look healthy and green. When you transplant to a bigger pot which should be soon only use growbig if the medium you are uppotting to contains NO nutes - if you add nutes to a soil that already has you might burn the plants.
Start watering with cal mag and grow big when you notice leaves start getting lighter in color

Plant droop is only caused by either under or over watering. I know, I know; thanks captain obvious..I see you've figured all that out already but I would add that how often you need to water is relative to how large your container is. Plants can fill out a small pot fairly quickly and it's not always easy to gauge how deep the roots are. This plant is not root bound but I bet it is beginning to fill out the container meaning you'll need to water a tiny bit more than you did before when it was smaller. If you are growing in desert conditions a bigger container could help retain moisture longer than a small one; just a thought.

What size pots do you think I need to transplant to?

I think they are ok for the size they are right now but if you plan to flower them soon I'd go to at least a 5 gal....looks like they are in a 1 or 2 gal right now

I can do that but how much taller will my plants grow?

That depends upon how you train them. They always grow straight up unless you top or bend them down to make them grow wider rather than tall. More tops means more buds but you are also confined by the limits of your space. Go as large as you can is all I'm saying. Yes a larger plant in a larger pot will grow taller but you can easily control height by LST training, topping, etc.
