Strange leaves after rough transplant.

So i was growing in some old bunk soil, just a bunch saved from various pepper grows. Reused with some Jobes fert and osmocote green cap ferts thrown in.
Well the plants grew, albeit very slow. I then ordered some moco loco soil, and gaia green 444. Mixed with a bunch of worm castings.
Broke apart old dry soil off roots, and replanted in new soil. Watered like hell( to make sure all new soil was wet.( fabric pots). Then rewatered with the initial runoff, didnt wanna waste the nutes or mycorrhizal i put in, so watered with runoff, maybe 2 more times, before dumping it in sink.
Then put back into tent.
Next day they had strange color pattern on new growth. Is it something bad? Is the leaf damage there to stay and it's just new growth behind?
Sorry just worried i messed up bad by roughly transplanting them.

No clue on strain or anything. Just some random bagseed.
They do seem to be growing much quicker now though since new soil.
Pics are yesterday and today. And the weird leaf issue im askin bout.

That looks more like you got nute water on the leaves than any kind of deficiency or transplant shock weirdness. If it was one of those last two things it would be showing up on other leaves of the same class but there are many that aren't affected like those.

I'd just watch them for the next few days to see if it gets any worse or begins to affect those healthier looking ones in the same way but I'm betting it doesn't.

I think you can litteraly see the line between healthy and unhealthy. Keep going they liked the transplant

Welp …..

Then rewatered with the initial runoff “….

WCGW

Runoff is - waste. Excessive salts / etc.
Plus unbalanced soil ( previous “bunk” soil as you call it ) … sterility comes to mind. Unknown NPK makeup ( with all the previous fertilizer ) and ….. throwing in gaia 4-4-4 dry fertilizer with a guesstimate amount of EWC ( another nitrogen source on top of all the other sources ) .

Unsterilized soil can harbor pests / pathogens and pestilent microbial organisms.

Your plant problem came from your own hand.

I would pull plants - repot ( new pots ) - New bagged soil - that’s it. A good premium bagged soil will feed those plants for weeks. No throwing this or that. THEN , when soil shows some depletion… top dress more fresh soil ( water in ) or a tablespoon of dry fertilizer.

Alrighty. Took yer advice after a couple days of no signs of improvement, pulled them out again, dumped the soil, washed off as much old soil as i could. Then put back into bags( only have the 2 fabric pots) and then filled back in with CocoLoco.
After a couple weeks and lowering light intensity(from 80% to bout 30ish) they are showing signs of being happy'ish.
So next question...
Should i remove the damaged leaves from previous bad growth time? With the bad leaves improve, get worse, spread? Or is it now just damaged leaves that make me think things are wrong still?
2 plants, but same plant, 2nd greener one is the Top of the other. Topped one and felt wrong tossing it, so threw "top" into soil, and now have 2. So not sure why 1 is more colorful than other.

Thanks btw for advice on saving them.

Won't hurt anything to let the leaves stay. Not like it's mildew or some disease that could spread, just a cosmetic issue. Could use some sharp trim scissors and cut off the damaged edges so if the problem continues you'll be able to better see it happening to what's left of the leaves you trim.
