Troubleshooting 1st Hydro tomato Plant

Hi-

I am getting my feet wet in this interesting hobby. :)
I am growing a "Botanical Interests" beefsteak tomato.
Plant is 1.5 weeks old

- 2.5 gallon bucket
- netpot hydroton & Rapid rooter plug
- General Hydroponic Flora Series
- Lighthouse Blackstar 135 watt LED

Water temp is 70 degrees
Ph 5.8
PPM 465

2 Problems I am having:

- PH keeps rising (ie from 5.5 to 7.5 in 6 hours)
- Leaves are yellowing on the tips and curled under a bit.

Appreciate any insights you can offer!
