There's nothing wrong with your plant disease wise. it looks shocked from transplant and also looks like it could be a little too dry. I don't use a meter, use your finger. Stick it down into the soil about 3 ". It if feels wet down there, don't water yet. If it feels dry down there, water it. Did you just bring them in recently as many of us have done? and dig them up from being out in the ground? That will shock them very badly and they'll need some time to adjust. You may lose a few leaves in the process, this is normal.
