Today I decided to take my 3 plants outside for awhile. I come back an hour later and they are all droopy and laying down to the side!!!! WHAT CAN I DO TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE? WILL THEY END UP DYING?? I put cold water (mixed with some plant food) on them and set them under a light in my closet. ANY HELP PLEASE???

your plants were probably just thirsty, try to use room temp water and don't put wet plants in direct light, sun or hps will both cause burn on wet plants

Yeah you have to acclimate indoor plants SLOWLY to the bright light of the sun. Put shadecloth screens over them when they go out, until they acclimate. It's a process called hardening off. Good luck!

Guess what I noticed though? 15 minutes after I brought them inside and watered them, the leafs on my plants started to rise up!!!

Good. If your plants are drooping due to underwatering then 15-30 mins after watering you will see them rise quickly.
Always use water at room temp to avoid shocking the roots with cold water.

Like baby chicks, plants bond with the first thing they see. Start them under a couple of watts and they'll believe it's the sun and build themselves accordingly. Move them outdoors, it's as though the sun went nova! They simply weren't raised to deal with the real thing. Acclimate them slowly.

On another note, taking indoor plants outdoors is a great way to introduce pests and disease to your indoor grow.
