Went out of town for a day, came back to drooping leaves, and doesn't seem like I'm fixing it

I went to my mom's house on Saturday and came home Sunday.

Ok this looks easy, it's been hot and I didn't give a full watering Saturday before I left, so it's been about a full day in hot sun with next to no water.

I gave it about a gallon of water. I have about 250 cacti and flowers/peppers in the same soil (potting mix, perlite, peat moss, salmon, egg shells) all of my other plants perked up within 20 minutes or so. This one did not. It was still very droopy a couple hours later so I gave it another gallon of water or so. I also lightly fertilized with my salmon water (I have a bucket of water and salmon which I then add to other water to dilute)

Here's what it looked like at night before I gave it the extra gallon.

Here she is the next day, perking up

Here she is right now looking sad again... I just gave her even more water now (all my plants were just a little thirsty but not this dramatic)

Here's a full shot, you'll notice that all m leafy plants are strong again.

Any ideas of what I should be doing?
It's a banana kush x grape og f1 I bred
 
What could I do to alleviate it?

If it was me I'd just keep them moist , not soaked or dry . Just enough to keep the roots moist . And get it in the shade for a bit . Not sure if getting it in a bigger pot would help or hurt it . Others may have more ideas .
