I have found that my plants recover much more quickly from transplanting when they get less light for a few days after.

Perkier already!
I always turn lights down a bit whenever I see an issue pop up. Makes sense that they would recover quicker.
Looking perky indeed!
Much better!
How long before you'll turn the light back up?

Folks shouldn't be afraid to really fluff the roots during transplant. If it's done gently they bounce back quickly. These are photos though. I may think twice about doing it to an auto.
It's something that I can try in the future though.
I should have taken pics. The rootball was 1/3 of the size when I was done.
Another day or so. I need to get some batteries for my lux meter. It was starting to act wonky and wouldn't take accurate readings.
I'm just assuming that it's the cheapola batteries that it came with.
If it doesn't fix the problem I'll call the company.

She is a nice looking plant. The less finicky of the two for sure.
I'm gonna have to take some sort of action on the Bubba Kush. She is still having some issues.

Hey y'all.
How about a little update on the @Weed Seeds Express Chickies?
They are doing pretty good but there is still the chlorosis issue on the Bubba.
She is getting darker but has retained the striping.
Buttercup thinks I need cal-mag and he may be right.
I think that I'll give her some 0-0-0 TPS cal-mag but would like for @Prescription Blend to weigh in. I also have 4-0-0 and 8-0-0 cal-mag but don't see the need for more N.
I gave an epsom foliar yesterday. That should help some.
I may just have to reduce my nutes a bit for the Bubba. I read they she can be a hungry plant. Maybe she's a cal-mag hog too?
Would love to hear anyone else's thoughts as well.

Looks more like Mg def than Ca to me. Perhaps some epsom salt? Even a foliar will help.

I’m always late to the party but this looks like a good place to learn something. I’ll tag along if that’s alright…
Yep, that’s what I meant - the foliar you gave might be helpful.
I would definitely take advice from Rx Blend before I turned to Buttercup. 
Is Buttercup another experienced grower - or just a member of the gallery?
gotcha! 
Hmm, I thought Mg def too, but it's top only. Interesting to hear from PB first.
Changed my answer.
And the TPS is mostly calcium at 4.5% and only 1.1% magnesium. Epsom salts would be a better solution pending Rx Blend's answer.
