**This is a guess without all the facts**
Transplant shock- too much change in soil/lighting... if so you could use shade cloth to give them a break to recover/adapt. How hot is it there?

the soil is from a farm. its a 50/50 mix. and yes i did start them inside but that was months ago. theyve been outside doing extremely well until now

50/50 what? Just a generic soil/compost blend?

So normally I'd say damage from heat/light or transplant shock. Also kind of looks like a calcium deficiency.

What are you feeding them?

Watering with RO or tap?

Does that soil feel pretty hard and compacted or is it pretty loose and airy?

It looks awful heavy. The roots will have a tough time in soil like that.
You should repot them again into something more friendly.. Meaning more peat, and perlite, and less stones

Yellowing is also indicative of Magnesium deficiencies. That soil looks really dense. Poke around the exterior of the pot, adding some Epsom salt (1TBS) around loosened soil. Epson is great for this concern.

it rained hard for 4 days in a row, i think thats why it looks as bad as it does(the soil). its fertilizer and top soil mix from a local farm. not the best i know, but it fit my budget. i was feeding heavy nutes and started to see toxicities so then i fell back from those for a couple days and then this started yo happen. its happening to most of my girls. yellowing leaves brown spots on green leaves

What's the soil budget? I can give some pretty cheap recommendations for all-in-one or for a super basic soil & organic amendment regimen

Are they only getting fed run off/rainwater? If so you're gonna need to do some Ca Mg supplementing

Where are you located there’s always options on good soil. Or just build your own.

Sohum is my go-to if I'm trying to be lazy and I want to just plant it and leave it (not my current grow but I've had good results... The price tag is hefty but with what you save in amendments and time it's not too bad.

They have been very inconsistent pallet for pallet I prefer to build my own due to it the inconsistent nature of company’s. I go through a ton of soil and constantly reuse my soil.

I personally had a good experience when I used the Sohum for my first grow but the price was too much and I wanted more control so I amended it with the same blend of nutrients I use for container tomatoes and reused it.

it works at times no doubt. I’ve bought several pallets in the past none performed like the other. When running as many plants as I do I can’t have stuff not perform.
