If ya just let them sit in water until you know they are soaked you have eliminated under watering completely and won't harm the plants as I suspect they will perk up shortly
And yes lighting that strong means more feeding and watering

They look limp and lifeless, if you ask me they are underwatered. And they might not have bounced back from the transplant. You want to wait a good few weeks after transplant before you switch to flower. What medium are you growing in? I always give them a shot of rhizotonic in coco after transplant.
I use bush doctor mixed with worm casting and also downy to earth nutes all mixed into the coco

So what maybe the light is stressing them out then I’m just confused because one of them is doing great

I haven't heard or many people using dry nutes and EWC with coco, unless it's a coco/peat type media. I think the problem is that you are trying to incorporate two different types of grow. Coco is best as an innert hydroponic type media. If you want to go more organic soil-mix, then I'd look for a peat based product with a ph buffer in the mix too.

Yes I had them under Mars hydro ts100 then moved it to the SF7000
That jump can shock them. And just for future reference, when you say soil, mean soil...coco is not soil so it helps to use the correct terminology...dry amendments in coco is pretty hit and miss, good luck.
Is that your intelligent answer to help?
If you need that explained to you, you're missing the bigger picture. But feel free to chime in with some wisdom, if you can.

Yea I’ve been doing it that way for a while I’ve had 3 successful harvests prior but I’m thinking about looking into some type of liquid based nute

You know I did realize I would always use ocean forest but they didn’t have it at the time so I went with bish doctor I think one is soil and the other is coco maybe that too but then again when they were in veg there was no issue wasn’t until the transfer

Technically peat mixes aren't soil either. Soil is what's in the field outside. Potting mixes are just that, potting mix; however they certainly are closer to soil than coco is.
