Wilting Plants... Possible Problem

[ChiliClay]

So I have a number of varieties in 1 gallon pots. Some are wilting in full sun around 1-4 or maybe even 5... Is this because my containers are small and they are getting too hot, they feel very warm and they are black...
Do I just need a shade cloth? Im in Lubbock and its pretty hot and sunny

Could be many things. Were they hardened off before they were brought outside? They could be over/under watered. It could be a nutrient problem. A picture would tell us more.

yes shade cloth should work but consider getting bigger pots soon

If they bounce back later, without you doing anything to them, its fine. You'll get a bit hotter peppers

That is their way of conserving water.  Bigger pots would def help.  I'd go to the 5-7gallon range for your next pot up.  The sun is intense and I'm guessing they perk back up after the sun goes down or the shade gets on em?
