Cotyledons Early Death, Tiny Plants Dieing Day by Day - PICTURES

Hey everyone...

I germinated some seeds in soil (outdoor), in cups. They didn't look so healthy and some of them died. There were 8 left (4x Super Skunk Automatic from Ceres, 4x Sweet Tooth Auto from BF) and I transplanted them to huge pots filled with Bio Bizz All Mix. They suddenly pulled themselves back together and had that healthy look (except one, which died a day later, but was already looking pretty tired before the transplant). So I figured the soil I was using might not be so good. Damn me for not adding perlites to that soil. Anyways... A few days ago, the other plants started having yellow cotyledons. The upper leaves seem to grow fine, but the problem seems to start wearng the plant out from down to up. I am not sure the other leaves will be as fine in a few days. So here is the picture of the plants that looks the wrost.
This is from yesterday:

And today the same plant looks like this:

Notice how it loses color?

Here is another example of healthy on top, dieing at bottom:

And with this one particularly, notice the leaf with brown spots on:

Yet, this one looks healthier than the others (but still with yellowish cotyledons, not seen here):

Yes, I know that Bio Bizz All Mix has its own nutrients, and it is not wise to plant them in it too early. But I thought I have waited long enough after reading several peoples messages telling they have even germinated seeds in all-mix. Tho, the yellowish leaves and burning tips seem as a nute burn. I am not really sure.

I water them every 3-4 days. I have tried sticking my finger in the soil, and it feels humid all the time.
I grow these babies in my terrace. They see all the direct sunlight, they get watered well. I just can't figure out what the problem is.

Any ideas? Do you think these babies will gro just fine and beat the nute burn stage with the power they get from upper leaves... or is it just my imagination? :)

They are probably just adjusting from the transplant. Just looks like a slight bit of nute burn, just keep using water only and it should sort itself out.
