If you just bought them yesterday and they are already drooping (make sure they are not broken off at the base) then I would take them back TODAY. They will replase them or refund your money. Good luck.

Isn’t the suggestion that UV lights are beneficail for plants a myth?
I was reading some indoor gardening tips and I have reading again and again about how UV light lamps are so beneficial. But using common sense, UV light is higher above the visible light spectrum, and plants only absorb visible light with the exception of the green spectra for photosynthesis. So what is with the hype about UV light?
GardenersCardiff answers:
“Like all living organisms, plants sense and respond to UV
radiation, both the wavelengths present in sunlight (UV-A and
UV-B) and the wavelengths below 280 nm (UV-C). AI1 types
of UV radiation are known to damage various plant processes.
Such damage can be classified into two categories: damage
to DNA (which can cause heritable mutations) and damage
to physiological processes” – http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC160223/pdf/041353.pdf
“Dr. Brent Pemberton has found that exposing plants such as impatiens, tomatoes and cucumbers to ultraviolet B, (UV-B) treatments for a few hours slows their foliar growth and stem length without reducing color or other favorable characteristics.
“Simply put, it acts as a growth regulator and stunts them somewhat, but with bedding plants this may be desirable,”” – http://newagnews.tamu.edu/stories/HORT/Nov2798a.htm

Hey Kyle you need to remember that this question goes all over the world , so we don’t know if you are in Texas or New Zealand or Glasgow. Depending on where you are different plants and veggies will be suitable.By the way I am on the south coast of Australia just to show how far your question has probably travelled.
