What’s wrong with one of my young plants?

Hi there, fairly new uk grower here looking for some advice. I popped 2 inhouse genetics skywalker og x platinum around 18 days ago, I started them in eazy plugs and they took off fast. I transplanted the to bigger pots filled with ecothrive coco with 2% charge about 5 days ago and roots are already out the bottom of the pot, 1 of the plants looks happy but the other one looks a bit sad and seems to be drooping slightly so I’m looking to find out why this might be. The plants are currently under a diyleduk 275w hlg led turned down to 50% hung about 10 inches from the plants, temps may be a bit low sitting at a steady 16c lights out and 20c lights on, humidity is steady at 60%. They have had one feed of emerald harvest Cali pro a+b at 50% recommended strength for seedlings since the transplant. I don’t think the drooping is caused by over watering as I’m conscious about keeping a good wet/dry cycle, I don’t think it’s over feeding as they have only had 1 feed at 50% strength although the coco does have nutrient content. I have attached pics for you guys to see and I’m wondering could it be any of the following. Temps to low? Underfed? Transplant shock? Am I just being a wally and need to give it a bit more time to settle in new pot? Any help is much appreciated ✌9F97589D-8A96-4C7E-A12B-85D4EC079882.jpegDA674C0D-D759-42C4-99D3-AC5D7693D5D2.jpeg4C68CC42-38A2-4147-B417-ABCAD10AD9E3.jpeg

it looks like you have over watered them a little bit. the bigger one looks better because it's rooted better and probably more established. i would say just try not to over water them. lower your water when you water them. coco likes lower waterings more frequently. Other than that you are doing really good :)

Thanks for the reply I didn’t think over watering would of been the issue as they have only been watered after transplanting but I did fully soak the medium so maybe I should of just given the a small watering, I’m waiting for them to dry out now so will see if it perks up a bit as it drys.
 
Okay- I am thinking over or under watering based on the look- sorry for the late response brotha- lot going on. I'm a beginner myself- but I try to help with what I know. Good luck my dude! They are looking nice.
Hi, they are a bit low at the moment sitting at 16c lights out and 20c lights on.

I don't see any watering issue with them. Temperatures are definitely too low all around. I wouldn't let my plants get below about 18 C lights out. I aim for about 25 C lights on. Currently I run about 69F lights off and 77 F lights on. So about 20.5 C to 25 C.
