Went out of town for 4 days over the holiday. Watered them before I left. Had someone water them on day 2. Came home and they look like this. I just watered them and I’m
Hoping for recovery. I’ve never grown jalapeños before and I’m close to getting peppers finally.

Its fine
Keep she soil moist and give them a little more shade to recover. You should be good
They’ll be fine. If I may ask , how hot is it where you are? Watering twice in 4 days seems like a lot unless it’s really hot. Peppers don’t like to be really wet
Yes,they just get dramatic if they have no water. They go right back after getting enough. They also look a bit crowded imo.
It’ll be fine. Good opportunity to share info about Permanent Wilting Point; interesting for some. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permanent_wilting_point
Pruning some foliage and giving them consistent watering will help
Preppers are the most overdramatic plants. They get like this when then are slightly uncomfortable and far from any harm being done. Just dont overwater them to try to help.
They will be just fine. My potted jalapenos droop worse than that almost every day. They are divas.
