We got a pretty big storm while I was sleeping and now my girls look overwatered. Any suggestions

So, just my two cents, those look like they are thirsty.

I only say that because I'm growing outside in smart pots. They tend to dry out fairly quickly if you can keep them dry. When the tops flop over like that it's usually under watered.

When you over water the leaves get fat and droopy. Chicken claw type of thing. Those leaves look crisp, sharp. Need water.

I thought they looked under watered too, but the symptoms showed up right after the storm.

It doesn't appear that the surrounding grass is overwatered.........in fact it looks dried out.........like the plants.

Happens to the best of us. Otherwise some healthy looking plants. Get yourself a bottle of Monterey BT so the caterpillars don't sully your flowers. I suggest the thread budworm season. Best of luck.

Over watering is a myth, oxygen depletion in your root mass is always the real culprit when a plant is diagnosed as "over watered".

Based on all the perlite I doubt he has aeration issues
