Give it time, roots haven't even grown into the soil much yet. They recommend not messing with pH of your water and or dechlorinating on their website. So I'd follow that advice, and uh they also recommend a "wet dry cycle" meaning let the soil almost go dry before watering again, never let it fully go dry or you will get wilting. You can check how wet it is by hand feeling the weight of the pots. Early off the bottom of the pots will dry out slower than the top while roots grow down there.
p.s top growth looks fine, lower leaves sometimes will do shit like that after transplant.

Thanks for your reply calcium deficiency was one of the things I thought of I’ve ordered some calmag in case it’s that I’ve also ordered a scope to look for bugs and eggs I’ve looked myself and seen nothing but I’ll check again wen my scope arrives

I edited my post, but sounds good. I wouldn't use any cal mag because the new growth looks unaffected. Also note some calmag are not organic if your actually trying to be 100% organic. I personally am not an organic grower but I know that is a concern to some people.
Okay I’ll leave them calmag for now and wait it out see if the new growth is affected this as only started to happen in the last two days they where perfectly fine 2 days ago so I’m concerned to what going on

They will survive, trust me. Those current fan leaves you'll be plucking off in a couple weeks.

Check for thrips - zoomed in it looks like the typical damage they make.
I’ve checked multiple time can’t see anything there’s only this plant this is happening to and as only started the 2 days I’ll keep checking I’ve ordered a scope just to get a closer look I’ve not seen anything with the naked eye

I had thrips infestation and didn't realize it until it was pointed out to me in photos, but still wasn't sure until I looked at my yellow sticky pads with a USB magnification scope. Then it became quite obvious. I am still newbie, but going through that experience made me far more aware. I now use a combination of blue AND yellow sticky traps, and am always looking at my leaves for those telltale markings (trails) that Budzbhudda is speaking of.
