Discoloration of leaves

I have 3 different strains all planted at the same time in 3-5 gallon holes in the ground. I have blue dream, gsc, and sour d. My blue dream and sour d are doing just fine but these cookies are giving me some issues. First i think i may have burned them a tad by transplanting them in nutrient rich soil. Secondly a few of the leaves on each plant are turning a darker/purple color with some wierd spotting.
Heres a pic of the leaves im talking about.

Any ideas?

Miracle grow 3 month garden soil. I havent hit them with any nutes yet. Usually they're good for the first month or two with no added nutes. I did hit them with some calmag two days ago and i havent noticed any change.

They look over watered or cold or over heated ? All so how long have they been outside and did you harden them off before you put outside ? It looks like sunburn. If nether of these fit you might need to add some Epsom salt but I suggest to back off the water.

That may be your issue. Although some cannabis can do fine in that soil, a finicky strain (such as anything cookies) wont like that garbage. 1/3 part Peat moss, 1/3 Part Humus/EWC/Compost, 1/3 Aeration of your choice (pumice, perlite, rice hulls,) Then amend this mix with any epsoma "tone" product or similar and you will get much much better results than using anything from Scott's..

The first 2 words are your problem IMHO. Coulda spent less n just got peatmoss, perlite and, vermiculite. Mixed at 50%/40%/10%. Then just a nice inch too 2 inch layer of worm castings right below the top of the soil. (Worm castings does more than you know). Then I feed them throughout the year. Simple n effective trust me. :weed:

I took them from indoor lights to being planted outdoors within 24 hours. So i didnt harden them up yet. I didnt really have issues because the day i transplanted everything it was overcast and cloudy and it stayed that way fore and a couple days after that. None of them really wilted at all. Well besides the cookies. We had some hot days and cold nights last week so maybe that could be the cause of the purplish color?

You could very well be right. But at the same time ive never had an issue in the past with this soil and ive done over 20 different strains. I get the soil for next to nothing so thats why i use it plus im always happy with the results. Ive used fox farm and other soils with the same results so i use whats most cost effective.

Btw i grew this same strain last year with the same setup with no issues.

they aren't happy in that soil. test it for pH and EC they look like they are locking up for some reason. Try a foliar of kelp extract, fulvic acid, silica and worm casting tea and see if it perks them up. did you use any micorizia?
