Triple Mix: A combination of peat moss, compost and top soil and some Promix:
Sphagnum Peat Moss (75-85%) Perlite and very old and used lol. Doing a PH slurry test now

Plan is to top dress with worm castings peat moss and water with 6.0-6.2 PH water. Soil now at 6.9-7.0 PH so need to try to correct that. Should of trashed that whole bed and started over but lesson learned. Could be causing micro nutrient lock out (iron) and stress of transplant last week

Just an idea here ... are you in an area that sells Fox Farm products? If so, purchase Happy Frog soil conditioner. It's sole purpose is to revitalize soil in raised bed gardens and containers. I'd add a healthy amount as a top dressing, scratch it in as best you can without disturbing the roots and give it a good watering. It works best before the plants get placed in there ... but this idea might give you what you need to get things back to right without a lot of extra frustrations.

Your still within the pH range for soil. Anything between 6-7 is good.

That soil looks like dirt that turned to mud & then got hard. It doesn't look like it has much organics or pealite in it?.
Why does some yellowing look like it's mostly on one side of the plant (1st pic) ?

I was just gonna say... And maybe over watered. Does look like a brick of mud. Roots have to be suffocating.

But I think as @FloridaMike stated, it lacks organic material which is exactly why I recommended the soil conditioner from Fox Farm. Adding perlite would certainly be a plus as well.

S
My buddy I got clones from said they were harden off but am doubting it now, that one side of the plant gets most hours of full sun. So maybe sunscald/light shock plays a part. And yes I know the soil is shit lol

I think you were just a tad heavy on the top soil. Be careful adding ewc before you get the soil condition corrected some, or it may gum it up and make it worse. I'm not a soil grower so take what I say with a grain of salt.
