What is your soil? What nutes are you feeding? Whats your feeding/watering sched? pH? What temps are you getting?
Check the underside of leaves. Do you see any bugs, mites, or webs? The mites will be like tiny crumbs moving around.
By first appearance, it looks like it needs nutrients, but it could be another issue. Please answer the above questions first.

I’m guessing it’s calcium deficiency or too much potassium. I was growing in happy frogs and i just transplanted from 5 gallons into the ground. I dug huge holes and filled them with happy frogs ocean forest mixed with the regular happy frogs bag. I think i waited too long to transplant without giving them a feeding which may of caused this. If i’m right i don’t have to do anything and i should just leave the plant alone and water when it’s thirsty. But still don’t know if i should pull the leaves off or not? Now that they are in the ground i wasn’t planning on feeding for a good month and just let them get used to the new nutrients in the soil.

I would pull the leaves that have no green color to them, or that look mostly damaged. If they are still green with light damage, I would leave them be.

Hay fellow RIU member. In all honesty they look to be lacking calcium, magnesium, and micro nutrients i.e. copper, boron, etc. Now happy frog soil is a good start soil. But the plants eat the available nutes within a month or so. Try top dressing earth worm castings And top dress some dry organic nutes i.e. gaia green or roots organics uprising dry line. Water wi molasses 1 tbs per gallon every other watering. It should work

I appreciate the advice! Should I start feeding the plants now or wait three more weeks? I transplanted into the ground 7 days ago.Hay fellow RIU member.

I would feed now. Give a half strength dose of nutrients to avoid nute burn.

Just gave her some nutrients, i’ll see how she responds to it. If she likes it I will start feeding the rest of them.
