I just put them in new pots about 3 weeks ago and they dont look like they are doing too well
If anyone has any advice or knowledge to drop on me id appreciate it!

Looks like nutrient lockout possibly from hard water

Too much sun? Mine will turn like that if I give them all day sun (Southern Cal). If I put them somewhere that gets half day son they green back up after awhile.

Buy a tub of pure vitamin c powder. It dechlorinates 5 gallons in 5-10 minutes with about 200mg. One tub I have can treat like 25,000 gallons. It doesn’t negatively affect plants, and it degrades fairly quickly. Works on stubborn chloramine too.

So I tried solving this by adding some diluted pee. It contains N that your plant is most likely lacking.

To much sun or lack of nuteient. If yellow is orientated and not homogenous is sun. Sun of spring is very dzngerous because horizontal and burns more than summer.
Always put them out very progressively and never directly on sun. First 1 week on outside shadow then 1 middle light etc. Especially if they were inside for months
If global yellow is lack of nutrients, they love pee.

Im just gettin into this so take it with a grain of salt,
Yellowing from the bottom speaks of nitrogen deficiency to me, also yellowing on the areoles could be from magnesium deficiency (intravenial chlorosis). Sometimes nutrients lockout happens if you repot in cold soil or the soil is just always clogged with water. Some micronutrient deficiency can also caus nutrient lockout but this doesnt look the case.
Doesnt serm like sunburn to me.

Pull the plants and gently dust off the roots, put all the soil into a large pot/bowl for mixing. Pull some of the soil, then whatever amount of soil you took out, add the same amount divided to a 2:1:1 ratio of worm castings, kelp meal, and fish meal. You can add a few bonus sprinkles of gypsum and lime. Mix er up and repot the plants. Then pee on the plants.

I got a hose filter that takes out the chlorine and chloramine. I can definitely tell the difference in my plants/cactus since using it.

I fertilize mine weekly, with kelp extract, Schultz cactus and succulent fertilizer, and a soluble nitrogen fertilizer. They are very happy, and pupping like crazy.

can you collect rain water to feed them? like rain barrel? if not I just use a pinch of citric acid in my water to lower the ph and make gallon jugs of feeding solution.

Maybe too much sun. Might need to move it or add a sunshade.

Add a product called Super Hume and some organic form of Nitrogen fertilizer. They need to be fertilized regularly now due to the size of the plant and seeing the size of your pots. The Super Hume will regulate the ph, and release the nutrient lock (result of hard water) if the is any. Feed them every other week with a nice organic fertilizer.
