Hard to say definitively with the info on hand, but some common reasons for "wilting" leaves are:

1.) They need to be transplanted into a bigger pot.
2.) They are being overwatered.
3.) They are being underwatered.

Post pics. If they are bending with no other symptoms, it's one of the ones fencewalker said. If the tips are also scorched, you need to flush and feed with correct ferts at correct pH.

this is the plant that is bending the most the other two are not as bad but on there way, I got grow juice yesturday and I repoted them. After I repoted them I gave them 1/4 spray and have watered them once since then. I was watering them 2-3 times a day just wetting the top of the soil, is this too much?? Could anyone help me out on a solution to get these up and healthy??

I'm going with overwatering (two to three times a day) and underwatering (just wetting the top). :wtf:

The general rule is to water well, soaking the medium and then letting them dry out before watering again. Depending on the size of the container that could be in 3 days or a week or anywhere in between.

Two common ways to check the soil to see if you need to water is either stick a finger up through a drain hole to check if soil is still wet. The other way (the one I personally use) is to sink your finger down into the soil to your second knuckle. If dry, water again.

also lay off any fertilizers as the plant is too small to handle them. You should wait until approx 3-4 sets of true leaves. For now the plant has enough momentum

agreed ^ nute burn will stop growth faster then you could say Under/over watering.
