I've noticed plants droop a lot both from over and under watering.
The questions i always ask myself are: how long has it been since i watered.
how big is my container
Does it feel light when i pick it up
If i poke a hole an inch or two deep is the soil moist
I wouldn't trust me on the copper/ zinc because i'm just going off a chart, but it looks a lot like that to me. It could also be very early potassium (which sounds a lot more plausible since zinc and copper are pretty obscure nutrients) but theres no yellowing so I'm not sure.
You are getting around the time that potassium does start to matter but i don't really know whats in canna nutes so i could be way off.
Hope that helps.

lol I use those type pots(buckets)too. Have to be careful because the pots are so tall you cant do the finger test, you have to go by weight with those type. Improper drainage can cause algae below. You really have to cut some gaping holes in those, small holes get clogged. I usually give half-1 gallon water with those depending on plant size.
