It is going to be hard to diagnose without a little more information. If you can reply and include information about your setup (Soil/Light/Nutes/etc.) someone should be able to help you out.

Lose the dome and provide a pic in natural light if possible. Which would you prefer to spot problems? Just a heads up ParanoidPro.

600w led, organic soil, a 4ft×4ft grow tent height is 6ft 7in, its bubba kush, seed from a seed bank, she got her first nutes about a week ago and was doing amazing till I transplanted, micro grow and bloom ph perfect nutes. I was advised to dome her by a friend so I did that just a few hours ago...anything else u need to know?

I was expecting like 24 hours of a droopy plant after transplant Friday afternoon, but she is still droopy today n this yellowing is very alarming. I also raised the light up about 10-12 inches this morning when I noticed the yellowing

This one's got me puzzled.
Do the leaves feel dry or are they still squishy and supple?
Your media looks really dry. They'll droop when under watered also. Not just over watered.
Best guess on the yellowing is...
A. Light Bleaching
B. PH issues
C. Maybe some major unseen damage done to the root system during transplant?
Doesn't look like intervenial chlorosis to me.
Hopefully this can help some.

I felt like I was being really careful with the transplant, I slide the entire thing out of the old pot n put it into the new pot with about 4 inches of dirt already then filled in the sides, I added a little water early this morning but i just feed her first nutes like weds so didnt wanna over do the water, when I water or feed I go until I see run off then let the dirt get all the way dry n repeat I read that's best for root growth, and no the leaves dont feel dry or anything just the discoloration n drooping...man this is my very first plant so I'm not really sure what squishy feels like but definitely dosen't feel dry

Now as my state isnt legal, I do have other plants in there to explain a massive grow setup in my spare room shld I ever have to explain it I can just hide/dispose of one or two plants n still have the flowers in there versus trying to hide an entire room full of grow equipment, I wldnt think the other plants wld have anything to do with it as weed grows outside just fine all the time

I went to GWE in their plant problem section and it seems your young plant has a zinc deficiency, most likely brought about by stress (transplant) or high ph which is preventing your plant from uptaking zinc. They suggest a ph of 6.0-6.5 and if it was caused by stress it will clear up in a few days. Hope that helps narrow it down. Good luck PP.

I'm using distilled water, is that bad?

Ok, lol I just looked it up, but I have a case of dasani water n the internet says its ph is 6.4, so I'll switch over to using my dasani

No more distilled. Why not tap? Your organic soil will buffer.

I've read tap will cause ur plants to lock out n stop taking in water and nutes...and what do ya meen the organic soil will buffer?

Your soil looks really dry. The plant doesn't look bad, and new growth is always a lighter green. It looks like she may be a little hungry, but if it's fresh organic soil, getting it moist will help the plant access more nutes.

Its just the top layer of the soil that is dry, I believe bc of the fan going inside the tent I believe

It depends on what's in the tap water. If you're water is decent and not super hard and full of minerals, its totally fine. I use my well water that's slightly hard that has a pH of 7.2-7.5 depending on the time of year. The main mineral in mine is Ca, so I don't need to add any extra. But I do add Mg sometimes via epsom salt.
The microbes in organic soil will buffer the pH to some degree, but when you let the soil dry out completely, you are killing a lot of them. I try to keep my living soil moist, but not wet.
