Should I move my plants?
I have a Hydroponic NFT system with nine pepper plants in it. They are loving life except that I live in Florida and the sun makes them kinda wilt during most of the day. At night they get happy again and the growth explodes. I am thinking about moving them from where they are to a much shadier part of my porch. Will this be a good idea or should I just let them get used to being in sun a bunch. They never burn but they get close I can tell. The leaves get droopy around the tips.

If they're just getting a little droopy on the tips of the leaves and they bounce back just fine at night, I would leave them alone. Some plants just do get a bit wilty during a hot summer day. You might provide some shade, like with a shade cloth or something. But, if not, they should be fine, especially later in the year when the sun isn't so intense.

Leave them for now. Moving them may be too stressful. Cooler weather is on the way.
This has been one of the hottest summers so far for us in Florida. You don't even want to know our powerbill which includes cooling our greenhouse.

Pepper plants are heat and sun lovers. Are you certain they are not under/overwatered or fed?
