Looks like those leave tips could have been touching the ground when you watered/fed them. With autoflowers I cut my nutrients in half from the directed dose. Autos are finicky and don't like too much nutes.
I'm a religious Foxfarm Happy Frog soil user. It's got enough nutes to get you through 3 weeks. I usually start my light feeding with autos at week 3 or 4 depending on how they're doing, I also start lowering my Nitrogen and increase Potassium during flower.
Hope this helps.

thanks for the help what ph do you keep your water at? I've been doing 6.5 to 6.7 when I checked my run off it read 6.0 ph and 2080 ppm

im confused like a mf lol so your saying 6.0 is what i should ph the water to I've had 3 other answers to what the ph should be one guy said 6.8 but i feel like thats way to high im going to try 6.0 ig lol

Growing in soil, I find that 6.3 keeps everything happy buy your soil range is 6-7ph for proper nutrient uptake.
In coco, I had to ph down to 5.5- 5.8

Ok so it shouldn't be nutrients lockout if the soil is at 6.0 ph I'm still not convinced it's not calmag Deficiency. But I have no clue what I'm talking about I'm just trying to solve the problem before my other plants get as bad as this one

Only fed once and I looked it up they said to add the nutrients and then ph the water

Correct, just making sure. But yea, if growing in soil it should be closer to 6.8. But I’m not gonna twist your arm you do you. See what happens with the 6 and if it get worse try a little higher. Good luck with the grow, take notes and make adjustments on your next run, it only gets easier and better from here. ✌️

Ok thanks for the help I think I'm going to just go in the middle at 6.3 it seems like everyone has a personal preference that works for them

I use distilled water, never tested the Ph of it but its most likely 7.0 if the distiller is working properly. Sometimes your nutrients can help balance the soils Ph. I have some from purple cow called liquilife and biosupercharger. Both have a Ph of about 4 with humic acid listed in the ingredients. USUALLY your soil will balance itself out if its living soil. But if youre using salt based nutrients, youre gonna wanna test the runoff and adjust accordingly. Those salts are gonna slowly build up in the soil messing with the Ph and not allowing the microbes to live their best lives.

Youre doing right by your plant dude. Youre listening to her and finding good advice and solutions, the community here is fuckin awesome. Keep us updated!

Also, not sure if someone already mentioned it, but nutrients can be locked out (meaning the plant cannot access them) at certain Ph levels. Theres a chart online that will show you the best Ph for the absorption of specific nutrients. Your plant MIGHT be suffering from that. Based on waht i read here. Looked like your Ph levels were kinda all over the place, but i think i saw you say your runoff was over 8.0? WWWAAAAAYYYYY too high if thats the case haha

Best of luck dude!!!
