light green leaves after transplant

Hi all, 2 days ago I transplanted my plants from really small half gallon pots to big 3 gallon pots.

Since I have done the transplant some of the leaves are a lighter shade of green that they were before and lighter than the leaves at the top.

Will they turn back to dark green?

They have had one feeding of nutes and molasses the day of the transplant.

They are 3 weeks into flowering.

any input there would be great.

they are in soil, outdoor direct sunlight - i live in a tropical place.

Really hard to be accurate with help without info and pics

like what soil?

what nutes?

could just be minor transplant shock so based on info given just wait 4 or 5 days and see what they do?

they were originally in very good soil mix done by a buddy - a nice rich recipe that most growers would approve of.

The soil I used for the transplant is kind of shitty quality but I figured it wouldn't make much difference.

I am using a local costa rica brand blooming nute that is 10-30-20 I give them half the strength the package calls for - they have been fed nutes at least 5 times now - they love it.

I am hoping it just transplant shock and I am hoping this shitty soil doesnt fuck things up - i just wanted the plants to have more room for roots and not get root bound but if this soil is going to be a serious problem I will go buy some good potting osil this week or even better see if i can get a custom mix from my buddy again.

bump... any other input here?

This is really old but the problem is that you should have transplanted sooner. Using a different media may also cause problems because the plants have to adapt to different environment and transplanting alone causes stress to them.
