Are They Gonna Be Ok?

045.jpg035.jpg038.jpg032.jpg028.jpg024.jpgI just transplanted them three days ago in fox farm ocean forest,022.jpg my ph is good and no need to add ferts for another two weeks or so, but three out of the eight are getting really light in color and looks like something is eating my leaves in that one pic, there five weeks old today am i using too many flourescents maybe?

That could be caused by the different phenotypes you have (unless they're all clones from a mother plant).
You could give them a mild (1/4 strength nutrients)
 
Different phenotypes do mean like different strains? no their not clones grew them from seeds, but you think the fresh soil i gave them might not be enough ferts for them for a couple weeks? cuz i was thinking the same thing add a little more nutes but I'am alittle scared i might hurt them

As far as i can see you didn't add fresh soil??? - if you did that's gonna be fine for some weeks.

Phenotypes are different variations that occur when growing hybrid strains that are not stable. Maybe your seeds are made from an Indica and a Sativa plant - seeds will vary in between these two types.

Phenotypes are the visually-identifiable or physical expression of genes. Basically, a batch of plants with (virtually) identical genetics can end up looking very different indeed.
I have five Utopia Haze plants on the go, three express the typical Sativa-dominant phenotype I expect - long and skinny, whereas the other two are half the height (squat), and bushy - typical of Indicas.
This could also be due to variation in environmental conditions but I doubt this; light and heat distribution is quite uniform and they have all been on the same diet..
Nonetheless, I am almost certain that these seeds have identical genetics as I obtained them from a reputable supplier and owner of the strain - Barney's Farm. But, as mentioned by the good man above there is substantial in-breeding going on and genetics can become unstable.

In one of those pictures it does look like something was chewing on the leaf, which is strange.
Transplantation induces stress, it could just be the transfer to the new medium causing mild stress while the roots get settled in.
Are you sure there is sufficient Nitrogen? Methinks you can never have too many CFLs! :)

those pics i posted were taken yesterday and i just took these their def getting more yellow looking and it cant be i dont think nitrogen cuz the soil is only three days old i was reading some other forums and one said if your leaves feel crispy it could be a mag def. and maybe i should try epsom salt what do you guys thinks if not then ill try a little nute feed

I'm treating a Mg and Ca deficiency/imbalance right now. I just crunched off like half a dozen leaves that curled, discoloured and totally dehydrated. Those look alright in comparison!
This fox farm stuff, is it hot/loaded? Are you sure there is enough N, Mg, Ca, etc. in there? Keep monitoring the pH as well.
