thanks Bob... i figured watered a bit too much before transplant... had hoped they would bounce back once in 5 gals, but they haven't.
that pic is a few days old. they are worse today. saw small brown spots yesterday and now the spots are bit worse.
my light: https://indoorfarmer.ca/products/equinox-1000-led-high-efficiency-light
was set on max wattage. 40 inches from plants. i dimmed to 75% and moved down to about 24 inches this morning.
water ph is 6.4ish, but i used a soil ph meter and it reads 7.0... im going to check again with litmus paper once im home this evening.
was in happy frog in solo cup and now in ocean forest in 5 gals.
this pic is from today:

I noticed the older, lower leaves are the ones showing the yellowing and contortions. But, the newest leaves look healthy. Maybe the changes implemented with your watering or light made a big difference. My Wonka Bars plant was very finicky with light. If brightness was the dealio, I think the leaves should smooth out eventually (takes a while).

If you have a 480W LED, it might still be too bright. I think you have it at 75% and 24 inches? If so, that seems like a lot to me considering the stage of your plant.
My thinking is that if I'm wrong, somebody's going to correct me here. Either way, you get a bump so we'll see.

Ah, okay. Maybe it's something else. It seems like I have read conflicting information about light burn. Some writings suggested a grower would be in the clear with nice-looking new leaves. But, I also remember reading elsewhere that it shows on older leaves first because the damage takes a while to accumulate.
