Have you fertilized/how often? Looks like maybe a slight nitrogen deficiency but they look pretty good overall. If you just transplanted they shouldn't need ferts just yet. They don't look overwatered.

If you keep your pH down at 6.0, you might start to get Calcium and Magnesium deficiencies. Try to keep a pH of 6.5-6.8 when growing in soil.

no nutes yet since I just replanted and I normally wait for it to go dry before watering but when I transplanted I did water till it came out the bottom of the pot

Doesn't look like a big deal to me...it's normal for a plant to act funky in the first few weeks of growth. Especially since you just transplanted, I would give her a week or two and she'll look fine. Good luck...

Leaves curling upwards is usually a sign of Magnesium deficiency, but I don't see any other signs of it yet. Magnesium locks out at pH 6.4 and lower so this could be the beginning signs of that if you're at pH 6.0.

Yeah it definitely looks like mag def......try some epsom salt...you can foliar spray with it..what kind of water do you use????

Make sure you get your pH up to at least 6.5 before you start adding Epsom or other Magnesium suppliments. If the plant can't absorb it you will cause more problems by giving it Magnesium that it can't use.

Also make sure you measure water pH after you've added all the nutes & things to it, since those will change the pH.
