I think I see calcium and nitrogen deficiency

Overwatering causing deficiency to show.
Let those pots go dry. Let the plants roots breathe.
Best of luck.

Where do you see overwatering?

Brand new ffof soil out the bag has plenty of N and calcium in it.
Telling him he has a N and calcium deficiency is not a correct diagnosis, because there must be a reason the plants are not uptaking what IS available.
The only reason a healthy plant , ruling out fungal or disease issues, would not uptake available nutrients is Ph.
PH should be ok in a new soil mix, but since the pics show wet soil, in conjunction with the lockout, this leads to the conclusion that a wet meduim has caused a pH drop, or root damage due to rot. Letting the soil dry completely out is the first step in working through possibilities.
Again. Number one cause of early deficiencies for new growers is overwatering and not letting the soil dry out.

They will pull through, just don't give them any nutes till they recover.
Best of luck.

So my diagnosis isn't too far off if you just transplanted. Hookahs right tho ff should be good for about 3-4 weeks then you can add some ferts

Knowing a little more helps.
If you just transplanted it is very likely that the plant is suffering deficiency due to the nutrients in the small solo cup being used up. Now that your in a big pot it should take off, just let soil get dry to force root growth .
Best of luck.

Lots of ppl have nutrient deficiency using ocean forest soil. Google it and you will find 100 posts saying the same thing. Lots of ppl also have good results using that soil.I had the same exact problem when I used that soil so I added nutrients and the problems went away. You can't say oh its not nutrient definicency because you really don't know that for a fact. My advice, add some nutes and you will solve the problem.

A one part system fuck the multi part ones.
I tend to stick to dynagro foliage pro.
Some like jacks 20-20-20 is good as well.
Try adding some ferts that are in sulfate form as well that'll help with trich production

"Switched from hydro to soil, having problems"
..cuz soil sucks by comparison? LMAO!
Just stirrin' shit up, don't mind me! Ahhhh! Yes, another pun!
Personally, I got out of dirt as fast as I could and never looked back. I see no reason to second guess that decision as long as I'm growing indoors. I'll cross the outdoor bridge when/if I get to it.
No disrespect to the soil growers, I'm just having a lil fun!

I like nutrient lines of Dyna-Gro ,General Organics ,and Heavy16.
Personally I have settled on Heavy 16, but they are pricey.

Study mine;
Grown with less than five dollars' worth of nutes. Way less.
EDIT: For scale, those are 4" trellis squares, three to a foot.
