Re: Drying..Looks like you have a lot of perlite in your pots, which is fine, but you have to watch them more..The soil for your other 3 plants looks better.
Most Auto's don't do well transplanting , although you can get lucky if you're adept at making the swap.. tough to tell from the snaps..you'll have a better idea if you saw growth lag for a bit.
Good luck with the grow..
