ULI... The massacre

[seadonkey]

Out of 10 precious little ULI beens only one has lived thus far , can you save her (positive thinking). This is my friends first grow and it will be for medical use only. The environment is as follows:

70% Miracle-Gro® Organic Choice
30% Vermiculite
Alaska fish emulsions 7-7-2 (three tbs)
water @ 6.1
400 HPS
temps @ 80f

This was transplanted from a 16oz cup 4 days ago before that day it had been feed no nutes.

UPDATE

First time I got to use my new bluelab combo meter!!!!

The run off ph is 6.9
The run off PPM is 240
I ran water (PH@ 7.0 distilled) through a strainer filled with a bit of the grow medium to get the run off reading,

Your plant needs more food !Being a hydro grower i couldn't recommend anything but up you feed.Your not using a N nitrogen based food to veg , which you need to do.Make sure your medium drys out before watering.
Hope you get more help , peace.

Big pots , hmmm maybe too much for such a small plant.

What is the safest way to go back to a smaller pot?

Pablo that link is not working but I'm guessing you are pointing my to the sticky, thank you. I guess unless someone advise against it I will be moving the plant to a smaller pot. Then wait for it to get nice and dry and hit it with some H2O (ph6.5 w/ gh grow and micro @450ppm) and hope for the best.

the soil might be too hot, leafs tips are yellowing
btw., you're supposed to use perlite to increase drainage, vermiculite does the opposite...

Wait a couple of days and see how it goes. Do not judge by the look of those yellowing leaves - they aren't going to get any better no matter what. If new growth isn't looking too good then feed it some balanced grow fert with mg. best luck

Runoff ph at 6.9 is too high. You might want to take a look at how to test soil ph in my signature.
