Yes, they will droop if they need water, but should perk right back up in a few hours after watering. If they don’t, then you’ve got issues. Pics would help.
Well they not drooping so maybe I’m good. The leaves are flying straight out. Only a couple weeks from harvest

There are a few members who are exploring “droughting” in flower, basically letting the plant go very dry (wilting) before watering again. It may increase terpenes and THC, but you don’t want it to go so dry it causes damage.
Too risky for me

The key difference between wilting due to underwatering vs overwatering is that the leaf stems will go limp.
If the stem is curled but firm then it’s too much water, the leaf margins will also look puffy

Tried it don’t recommend it.
Basically I was trying it involuntary as I get paralysis sometimes.
I find when there too dry they pull in on themselves and kinda shrink if that makes sense
