i've often expierianced some wilting during very hot days only to watch the leaves perk back up with some water or the sun going down. this morning two of my best plants were wilted except for the very tip of the vine. it was a hot humid day so i watered quite a bit. they stayed wilted all day even at last check (9pm) were wilted?? any one have an idea what could be going on?

Many things can cause wilting, disease, pests, etc. Check the vine over carefully for signs of SVB infestation. You can also check for Bacterial Wilt infection by snipping a part of a vine off and touching the severed ends back together. When you pull them apart again, look for a slimy, stringy fluid to stretch between them. Without more information, it's hard to say why the plants are wilting. Do the leaves look normal (other than being wilted)? How did they look this morning?
