1st grow problems/evalutaion - PICS

Ok so I'm a first time grower - have a few friends I've picked up info from here and there, but I'm looking for more detailed opinions as I'm getting some serious problems with a few of the plants (just over a month old now from clones)

Here's the scoop - Have 7 outdoor plants - all cones
4 Blue Dream
1 UK Cheese
1 Hindu Kush
1 Mendo Purp

Vegged them indoors for 3 weeks, and finally moved them outside last week.

Dug holes approx. 1 ft wide, by 1 1/2 ft deep kinda small for outdoor i know, but the soil underneath is relatively soft and i imagine not too bad -- Thoughts?

For my soil mix, a bag and a half of earthgrow, mixed with 1 part perilite and 1 part peat moss. cheap i know, but i was leaning more towards the budget end -- Thoughts?

For Nutes --
voodoo juice (3/4 strength 1 a week)
iguanna bloom - full strength every 2-3 days
b-52 - full strength every 2-3 days

watering - about a gal, maybe a little more per pant per day -- Thoughts??

and for pest control, i JUST bought a bottle of safergrow 100% organic pest out. I HAVENT started using this yet, and could use some advice on how much/often?

Now they appeared to be extremely healthy up until about 2 days ago, when my girlfriend jumped the gun on the nutes by a day because she just got excited and wanted to do something important :mrgreen:

If you refer to a few of the pics below, some of the plants are easy to spot nute burn

But I'm also worried the watering schedule could be pretty off? I'm terrified of underwatering my plants with how small the holes are, but maybe some of you can clarify what it is I'm doing wrong? if the plants are drinking maybe up to 1 1/2 gallons, how often do they need to be watered? and how much should i put off my feeding schedule?

Much appreciated

Looks like a Calcium issue to me. whats your pH? a gallon a day does seem too much to me, but ive never done any outdoor stuff, or even looked much into it so iam not sure.
 
I picked up a 3 way meter yesterday from home depot - I'm not sure how accurate the pH readings are, but it seemed to be just around 7.

Any other possibilities?
 
Also, could it be possible that some of these problems are a result of maybe splashing some nutes/soil on the leaves when they got fed?

I know that is definitely something that could have happened, just not sure if it COULD cause this?

7 is high, but not TOO high. if you can, try to get it down later, but no its not the problem.

yes splashing is very possibly the problem, at least for those lower leaves, but the leaf in Pic 5 looks like more than just splash damage. Try adding a small amount of Cal-Mag to your water and see if it helps. iam still leaning towards a Cal issue...
 
Some of the plants are starting to recover, I'm leaning to water stress from overwatering, as well as nute burn. The problem that seems to not be going away is leaves curling in some places. Would this add reason to believe cal def would be the culprit? or is that more signs of water damage.

How often can you feed voodoo juice? Ive heard a few opinions but is more than 1 a week overkill?

not sure on the voodoo.

as for the leaves curling, is it up or down? on the tips or edges? curling can be a sign of several things, pH, too much N, or heat stress (increased transpiration). iam sure there are more, but those pop into mind right away.
