Shock during vegetation

If you bared the roots completely when transplanting, your plants will suffer some set back, possibly causing a delay in growth, meaning a potentially smaller plant when flowering commences. Autos will start flowering at 3-4 weeks, regardless, so to lose a week or more this early on will no doubt affect yield. I would highly advise you not to perform any "fimming", autos don't like it as a rule, besides, your plants have had enough stress already, so introducing some more at any stage is just going to upset them even more, further reducing yield. You should have actually dug your seedlings out with a ball of soil attached and transplanted the soil and seedling together to try and limit shock to a minimum. I don't think pH is your problem, but the 5/20/0 fertilizer you have given them certainly is. Did anyone say "phosphorous overload"?? Your new soil should have enough nutrients for quite a while, feeding baby plants with such an extreme fertilizer is not going to be good - nor is any fertilizer with such a high amount of any one ingredient. Your plants need potassium in any stage of their lives, so having a fertilizer with more balanced and gentle ratios, think in the approximate range of 8/3/6 for growth. Since your plants roots were quite traumatized, keeping them extra moist while they recover is vital, they need a chance to "reorganize" themselves from the transplant, so in the mean time, they are not quite able to effectively provide enough hydration for the plant, thereby necessitating the extra moisture in the substrate.
