Closer pics of lower leaves please. But looks more like a magnesium deficiency from here.

I would consider a foliar, don’t over feed the medium. Foliar feeds are a great and fastest way you could supply nutes to the leaves. Have you or do you top dress earth worm castings? It could be a nice addition for soil health, microbes, and plant/root health.

Since its in Ocean Forest and has had Grow Big, would that likely be a PH issue?

You have fresh FFOF AND you fed it more food. It's not nitrogen deficient...

Blurry but it appears you were on the right track with a nitrogen deficiency. Keep going. Pluck all abnormal leaves so you can see if it persists.

Water it.
Gro big and ffof will be much if plant isnt exhausting it. Right now it looks like its in a hot bath - water it “ completely “

I transplanted into these 7 gallon pots from 2 gallon pots last weekend. Had them in the small pots maybe 6 weeks, and several times gave then Grow Big, which I always use at least half strength for the recommended dosage. I just used tap water all along but started using PH adjusting when I fed/watered last Tuesday.
Here's the thing with watering, in the smaller pots I flirted with overwatering because the top 2/3rds would dry out and the bottom super heavy and wet. Lost my clones last year because I kept thinking they needed water, after they died I saw the root system was very poorly developed. I'm a little hesitant to water until they visibly droop because I'm afraid of this happening again. Top of soil is bone dry, bottom seems heavy
Temps here lately have fluctuated from the 80's to around 100, which is normal and successful grows I've had in the past never seemed to be bothered by the heat

I suggest getting some mulch to cover the top of the soil and it will allow the medium to dry out more evenly. Maybe back off the extra feed for 2 weeks and mix so e unscented espom salt at the rate if 2tbl per gallon (don't PH) and foliar feed at night ever 3rd day.

So I foliar fed last night, figured I'd do all 3. Overall they look perky and happier today. They are in the covered day room because we're having a bit of rain and with the overwatering issue I had figured not a good idea. The plant with the yellow leaves now has some brownish spots on the yellowish leaves. Just part of the leaf dying or something else? Pic below
