After transplanting into bigger pots I been having this problem. I wonder is I’m over watering, I got 3 plants and I use 1 gallon of water each feeding to feed all 3. Is that too much? I checked the soil and still feel moist so I didn’t water them lately.

Bad picture but it does look like they are getting to much water. Big plants will take a gallon but smaller won't. Is there runoff at the bottom? You can tell a couple of other ways. Finger test. Stick your finger in as far as you can....is it still wet. Plus the pot should be relatively light before they need more water. My mature plants take 1 gal every 3 days once they have gotten going. Some plants also take more water that others. Once you get to know your plants better you will know.
 
I think they was underwater, looking a lot better after watering them a hour ago. I just watered them Monday. Thirsty brauds

Over watered plants will look almost the same as under watered ones
3 days is a long time without a drink, mine would have a fit , but they are drinking over 2 gals every other day sometimes every
 
Next time stick a reg light over plants to get better pics Purple is hard to see
Won't hurt them for a few snaps
