The plant is saveable, let it really dry before you water again, whatever you do do not feed that plant, miricle grow as stated has food already in it, allso sodium (salt) of all things, to save the plant a don't feed and hope the plant uses up all the food in veg mode, b when you water your feeding so make shure your plant is completely dry before watering again, c keep a close eye on your ph as the sodium in the mix could throw it way off, like i stated before I have been growing autos for 8 years, there touchy with weak root systems and are notoriously easy to burn, as long as you don't cut corners on medium, and clay for drainage, good drainage is a must, get a nice light food, I use botanacare pro grow, and for bloom nutrients, I use botanacare pro bloom soil mix, or atami bloombastic, these work fine with autoflowers as long as you don't od the plant, if your plant has food still in your miricle grow when you change to bloom nutrients I cannot promise your plant won't fry, and again watch out for sodium build-up, I bought a bag of miricle grow for my house plants, mix had trash in it and was full of gnats, I called the co and asked them why on earth they put food, trash, salt, and bugs in there mix, cheaper does not mean better friend, and the first thing I found out is this is not a cheap little hobby, just the opposite, look how much you paid for 4 or 7 seeds! (I have many strains by sweet luv that co) why put them in crap medium? Once you get them in a good size pot with good drainage and medium you will be amazed at how aggressive sweet seeds can be, red poison is sativa dom so it's going to get real big if handled properly, right now I'm running dark devel and some unknown autoflower but I have some green poison, so if you ever need help just ask, but get those beans in some good dirt, sweet seeds do not deserve miricle grow lol.

78-80 degrees and 60% humidity and oh no it’s only inches from the top ugh and I’m at work
So that's possibly why your edges are curling up from heat; it almost looks like magnesium but can you get a picture in natural light without the purple

I'm thinking light burn although I agree with you it could be mag especially with led.

So today after work again no watering and light has been lifted, it looks like the leaves are in curling and the color is coming back.

Remember, miricle grow has food in the mix, evertime you water you feed, got that. So you must let the plant dry out pretty completely before you water again beacuse your feeding, if your plant does not use up all the food they put in the mix by the time you switch to bloom nutrients around day 50 I cannot promise your plant won't fry, this is beacuse your adding bloom nutrients to a plant that has food in it, food and bloom nutrients don't mix, this may and that's the word MAY! Overwhelm your plants root system and fry your plant. No promises! As stated next time buy good dirt! Once you get your plants in good dirt you can grow them properly. Pic is d devel at day 33 or 34 by sweet, I was forced to top off the plant but note how my leaves are reaching up to the light ? Note health of plant! Note size of plant at 30 or so days! Your plant should be bigger at this stage as it's a bigger strain, note the plant is in flower? By day 30 you should see a bit of flower not much mind but a bit, note no fade, burn, spots, anything? I know never take a pic under your light but did not feel like dragging it out but you get the general idea.

So three rookie mistakes, poor soil choice, light too close and overwatered. We’ve all been there. Aerate the soil to increase drying, its kind of touch and feel, i use a probe but mostly just scratching the top inch or so to keep it loose. If you see some roots, thats too much. You can also work some new soil in.

Miracle gro? That's where you went wrong. They are fert burnt.

I'd pot them up into a bigger container of straight promix and give them a few weeks. Then feed once they start looking hungry.

Definitely not getting this soil ever again! And I’ll hope for the best when bloom comes. Might try what the other guy said and put in bigger pot of no nutrient soil and hope for the best but here she is again and must say looking good lol leaves and fully un curled and reaching for the light!

Friend, I used to put my cheap houseplants in miricle grow, one day I was setting up a grow and the last pot would not fill all the way to the top, so I took a bit of miricle grow and mixed it in with my fox farms, not even allot, my auto grew fine till it was 21 days old and I fed it, then my plant looked like yours, as stated the best thing you can do is get the rest of your seeds in some decent medium, if you bothered to use clay for drainage when you do water you can flush the crap out of that plant in hope of flushing away the food and sodium, but in the end your better off doing it right in the first place, to be honest I doubt you will bring that plant home, with the miricle grow and loss of time (autoflowers are time oriented plants) and the damage done, I'm not trying to discourage you, or say you can't grow, I'm saying autos are tricky enough without having a major problem, this is my opinion only based on my experience with autoflowers, may bee someone else has a better idea.

I take back what I just said, your plant looks allot better, when you do feed next flush the shit out of that plant, that may flush out the food and sodium, see how your leaves are thats how you want them, you were to close to the light, and just next time don't cut corners on medium.

That does look better. And honestly that's a pertty big pot already. You should probably not transplant yet as I doubt the roots have even begun to fill that out yet.

Remember transplanting an autoflower is basically a no no, why do you think they tell you to plant the seed in the pot/ bag you intend to do your whole grow in/ autoflowers have have very weak root systems, that's why some people who think more is better fry there plants, autoflowers are not photoperiod plants nor do you run them the same, there time oriented with a limited life span, what I mean by time orientation is with autos by around day 30 depending on strain and size of pot you want to see some flower, it depends allot on strain I ran some strains over 100 days, but my ave is 70 to 80 days with a regular decient size auto just like your growing, if you transplant your going to shock it that is a fact and it's going to hold it up some, if your gonna do it I would do it as soon as your plant recovers then leave it alone/ or if it was mine I would let it dry completely and flush the crap out of it, let it dry completely and flush the crap out of it, the plant will use the food in the mix and since your not going to flower your plant till it's at least 50 days old even if you keep it in veg till it's 60 days old it might be ok the bigger you can get it the better just don't feed, you might be ok if you can get the plant to eat what's in the mix before you flower it, it's your plant if you want to try and transplant it try it could work out, I'm just trying to help. I grow sweet autoflowers all the time they don't just die at day 80, I'm rambling ultimately it's yours to decide how you want to run, my bad!

def a temp issue i would also stay away from any miracle grow soil not a good medium for canna plants also so you would be flushing way longer to get out the impurities i would look up super soil mix and mix your own soil but let it dry out almost to the point its begging for the next watering and then monitor you plant after that watering and you should be able to tell if you are over feeding or under feeding start off with maybe a 4th of what you would normally feed just because you in miracle grow and that soil already has alot in it happy growing
