ADOPTED CHAMPAGNE CLONES... Help Diagnose, Poor things

Plants Background:
Given 5 sick, medical Champagne clones yesterday by a friend who is rethinking things.:shock: The plants are exhibiting signs over overwatering:cry:, a nute burn/problem/defic(more on this later) was told that the severe light burn on 4/5 is because they were outside in 90F for 2hrs in 15% humidity on saturday while he rearraged the grow..:evil:. Signs of spidermites, which the plants were treated for yesterday.:peace:

Currently:
They're now under a vented 250HPS with inline exhaust, the tops measuring at 78F with 42RH, humidity and temp being supplemented by a cool air humidifier, with an oscillating fan above the space.

Fed yesterday with organic Botanicare Pro Grow Bloom at 80% strength in distilled water. :joint:

I am unsure of the soil mixture these were planted in, though he called it "organic", and ph read alright (getting a more accurate tester..) After their second Floramite application in two days, I plan to transplant them into Foxfarm ocean forest soil mixed with perlite and vermiculite to lighten things up and give them a fresh start in a known medium. :joint:

The Patients: :leaf:
Here are the photos, #1 is of a few spider mite speckles on the bottoms of the plants, plant shown is the same plant shown in photo #2

#2 Is a photo of plant 5, the non light burned plant, which has a nute or ph problem, and spidermite white spots. The brown spots on this leaf are really crunchy and feel terrible... Yet, this is the only plant that doesn't have heat stress.

#3 Is of the sun damage, being left outside, there is nothing that can be done other than not burn them further.. They'll be stunted but ok... I hope..

#4 is the girls (they're all showing sex at every node, as they're female clones, and 13")






I GREATLY appretiate any advice. And especially info on the nute/ph photo from the spidermite plant.. This is my second grow, and this is a heck of a handful to start with, but he was willing to part with them and If I can coax them into health, they'll suit my medical needs well!

Any more info just ask and I will do my best. Jah Bless :peace: bongsmilie

I just checked soil PH and its 6.5, will check more thoroughly at the next watering for a more accurate reading. Could the nute burn plant be hot spots in the cloners organic mix? I'm starting to lean that way but open to any and all suggestions.
Also, should I wait to transplant awhile after the second Floramite treatment to prevent additional stress, or transplant and treat all in one step like I initially planned?
Thanks everyone, roll something!

1st pic looks like nutes for sure. and 2nd looks to be hot spots, but not positive. id be watering with straight water for now. and are those pellets just on top or is that the growing medium cuz it looks like you have one in soil and a few that were hydro.

Thanks for the response. They're all in the same medium.
Some of the pictures were taken before I added the balls on top are hydroton clay balls, to help with the evaporation of air out of the soil.

Ok, straight water for the next few feedings, but I should leach these to help the nute burn if I want to transplant into larger containers asap - should I wait, how long if so, or leach them first, any advice?

Just went ahead and flushed the plant with suspected hot-spots, plan on transplanting all five tomorrow with their watering..
