    Go to the source of the problem, the food.
    Did you test the pH levels to make sure it's around 6.5 to 7.0?

    Sounds like the rooting could be damaged from the move, or npk levels could be off.

    Its transplant shock. Make sure new pot has plenty of drainage holes, keep soil moist, keep the new pot in the same area that you been having it. Wait a bit on adding nutes, just add a small amount of regular sugar to the water. If you do all that, your plant will be fine.
    All photos of plants posted by me are not grown by me and if I say they are, its just an attempt to create a cool fictional story...

    are the main stalks sagging over or just the leaves? What was the transplant like...smooth or was it hard to get out of the container it was in? Any root breakage,touching with dirty hands or prolonged exposure to light will cause them to shock after transplant. You also want to make sure just to have the soil moist and not saturated. You want to let the roots "stretch their legs" and search for water...especially after transplant. Add some superthrive or B vitamins right after transplant with a quarter strength nutrient solution and they should bounce back fine.

    Give them a little superthrive I always water in with superthrive when I transplant and mine never show signs of shock or stress

    I'm wondering if they were dry-ish when they were transplanted or really quite heavy with water?

    Keep them in the shade until they recover. Light will just stress them more.
