up fast and go strong, while some  are very slow growers.  I have had plants
from the same parented seeds where one has much more wilting during the day
than the other.  Perhaps one plant had a much better rooting system due to
soil conditions or other factors I didn't concider.


I have noticed the same thing. I think it is in the soil. Check the PH with soil tester and see what the soil ph of the one that seems to love the heat is. I have also found that plants that are not doing doing as well sometimes have bugs (grubs, squash bugs, vine bores or cucumber beatles) eating the growth out of them.
Let me know what you find.
