About 2-3 weeks ago I put my plant outdoors. I "hardened it off" by only putting it out for 3 hours a day then 3 hours more each day until it got to the full 18 hours of daylight. The original oval shaped leaves turned yellow and started to die so I trimmed them off. A week after that the first set of true leaves are started to yellow but the veins are still green (shown in the 2nd and 3rd pics). I planted it in a medium sized pot with miracle grow potting mix that has a 0.21 - 0.07 - 0.14 fert composition. (N, P, potash..I think) It seems like it is getting worse but the new growth does look healthy so far. I was told that it might be running out of nutes. If so, what nutes should I add if it is using the nutes from the bottom leaves? Thanks for the reply! What is wrong with my plant?
 
is this a clone??
appears you've topped it pretty early and there is quite a bit of stretching going on.
looks like you definitely need to add nutes. that hardening technique is ideal btw...

It would need a good balanced veg fertilizer, something with a higher N than P & K. What you choose to use depends entirely on your budget and your soil conditions. Any garden or hydroponic shop should be able to help you with the hydro shop being the much higher priced help. Otherwise, just look for a good chelated water-soluble fertilizer with micronutrients and higher Nitrogen in the formula.
