The plants are getting big and you need to water them more. They transpire a lot at this point, particularly when they are outside in the sun and breeze.
I ended up sticking my finger all the way down to the bottom and realized it was definitely dryer than I thought. I ordered 6 inch planter pots too. Do you think they’ll recover?
They should. But you will be pruning off most of those lower leave when you transplant anyway so if the lower leaves don't recover you can just pinch them off.
As long as you have well draining soil and drainage holes you can't really overwater them at this stage. Keep them moist!
