Sick clones looking for help (first grow)

Hi there roll it up folks, hoping to get a little help with my first grow. I was lucky and was able to pick up some clones from a friend currently have 3 strains I'm trying;

Blueberry Kush
Jah Luv
Super Skunk

They are in a Hydroponic Soilless mixture made up what looks like perlite, coco and a few other things im not 100% on.

I'm currently checking them daily, and watering if need, "if they feel light". per instructions i was given.

They are indoors under florescent lights 24 hours for the time being till they look healthy enough to go under a 400 watt MH lamp.

for the fist week and a half the plants were on just regular water, with a couple drops of root stimulator. everything seemed to be going fine, one of the plants started to yellow a bit, the bottom 2 fan leaves and the tips started to curl upwards. After talking to my friend, he said its a nitrogen problem time to start them on some nutrients.
So I mixed up a bit of the nutrients i was given, canna aqua flora, mixed it in 2.5ml part a and part b to 1 gallon of water, started feeding using that, the yellow got worse on the planet that had already started to yellow and the other plants started to show signs of yellowing, also have some browning showing up on the leaves too. My friend who is helping came by took a took at the planets and said looks like i had been over watering them, let them dry out for about a day or so and also suggested kicking the nutrients up to 5.5ml part a and 5.5ml part b per 1 gallon. let them dry out for 48 hours, mixed up the new batch of nutrients and re-feed, after about 24 hours I'm not seeing any improvement and I'm worried my first growing attempt is going to leave me with just a bunch of dead clones, looks like I've already lost one. My goal is to develop some healthy mothers to be able to make a few more clones off of.

Any who that's kind of an overview of what I'm looking at hoping the RUI community can help me save my girls or at least point out the mistakes i made so i don't make them again, ideally i would of would of liked to gone with a soil grow and just water till they looked healthy and in veg for a few weeks, but since my buddies done this several times before figured id do things his way the first time, so I'm not sure if there's just some mistake I'm making or what.

I'm not an expert on it, but it does look like a Nitrogen diff. from other pics I have seen. The only other thing I would suggest checkin is the ph on your water. Using tap water that hasn't sat out overnight isn't good for it either, I have done it in a pinch, but I always seem to see add a little harm when I do, maybe worth checking to eliminate as possibilities.

You're using a soilless mixture and without nutes of sufficient amount the plants will die. There are no nutrients at all to support life in a soilless mix. what's damaged is damaged but you go by the new growth. Needed more nutrients but it's just as easy to kill them with too much.

I don't think soiless mix is ideal for a newb.
FFOF

5.3 on the water ill adjust up to 6

I'll try switching to the fax farm and hope its not to late, tbh i had doubts about using a soiless mixtures for my first grow, but just kind of went with the flow, will the yellowing correct or is it just damaged and thats how it is?

As Oregon said, what's done is done, some of it might lessen, but it's not going to all of a sudden turn back green. The new growth is where you will see your efforts. It is time for nutes, and yes, go easy on them to start, good advice from Oregon.

transplanted to 75% FFOF 25% soilless mixture will monitor for the next few days and keep my fingers crossed thanks again for the quick response folks much appreciated.

clones can be touchy...They are fragile until the roots develop...Even then they can still be touchy..
