Plants need water every 2 days

My pot sizes are 3/4 gallon, they have drainage on the side closer to the bottom as well as holes on the bottom. I always fill them up till they leak out the bottom. Temps - 65-85. Fluctuating because the weather fluctuates between 60+ in the day and as low as 30F at night.

3 days without water = droopy leaves. death of foliage. SLOWED GROWTH!

I'm not sure what to do, I don't even know if they are transplantable, they are all over 8 weeks since clone.

8 weeks. Time to transplant into a bigger pot. Probebly root bound by now. Are you measuring the temps at canopy level? It sounds as if they are suffering from high temps, but you say they are not. Where is your thermometer in relation to your plants? How far from the lights are they? What medium are you growing in? Really need a bit more info. What is the humidity? if you have a low humidity and temps are in range then that might also be something to consider. If your plants otherwise look OK, then maybe just keep watering as usual.
Hard to say with limited info

Hmm.. I usually measure at the top of the pots. High temps is a possibility if they are indeed hotter at the canopy. The light (150W hps) is over 12 inches away from the plants. Fox form ocean forest soil. Humidity stays high, once again this is at soil level. I will see about measuring at canopy level, I just didnt have the means to do so unless I put it on top of my chicken wire screen.

Slowed growth is most likely due to 30 degree temps at night.
They do not like that.
Pics would help.

Dafuq?
Are you using an HPS outside?
We need pics and all the details, not just whatever is asked.
