i think it is heat stress if i am not mistaking. try to keep it cool. or build a misting system. go to the "how to" page.and read how to.

One plant probably has a better root system than the other.
The "wilty" plant still is quite small, so there is hope that it will "snap out of it" as it grows.

I encountered this last year with my Scherber "clone". The plant grew so vigorously, that the root system wasn't mature enough to support the plant. A little water during the heat of day should fix wilt, eventually the roots should catch up. A wilting plant is not a growing plant!

which one is closest to the ditch. make sure they are getting the same amount of water. After reading your post on irrigation I remembered that you had this post.
