So yeah it’s definitely the nutrients burning your plants sadly and on top of it over watering might also be an issue in top of the nutrient burnSo 2 of my autoflowers are done for and the 3rd is on its way out. All 3 photo period plants look like shit as well. I honestly think it has to do with ph. I usually grow in coco and have NEVER had this much trouble. Thats why I like coco because I know EXACTLY what nutrients the plant is getting and how much. So far I have never had a sick plant in coco. Soil however is another story...
So these plants are in fox farms ocean forest potting soil. If you have seen my other posts I did have an over watering issue to start with but since then they recovered and were looking beautiful all but one with some weird leaves. Well I got sick. So for a few days they got ignored. Now they had been watered right before I got sick I mean like the night before. So a few days you would think they would be fine, they shouldn't have needed water. Well when I felt better and checked on them I just about had a heart attack. They all appeared to be wilted and dying. I immediately watered them expecting them to bounce back. They have not. So that tells me the problem is has nothing to do with over or under watering. Upon closer inspection some of the leaves that are dead/dying look different then anything im used to. I will include photos with this as well as a couple before photos. I have one more in soil separate from these that seems to be doing fine. At this point I have come to the conclusion I'm going to loose these plants. Its disappointing but on the bright side I can go back to coco lol. I still want to identify what went wrong the best I can so I can learn from this epic fail. So let me know what you think. First photos is my other photo period plant that is separate but they all looked just as good before. Last photo is a before of one of the autos sorry I didn't have a photo with the light off.

YupThat doesn't look like nutrient burn. I think it's overwatering.
The danger of overwatering is low in coco, from what I understand. That might account for your success with coco.
Over watering in coco is pretty much impossible. Coco coir has an idea air to water ratio when it is fully saturated. I do high frequency fertigation in coco so its set on a water system to water 2-4 times a day lol. Never allowing my coco to be less then 80% saturated. So yeah going to soil is a challenge.That doesn't look like nutrient burn. I think it's overwatering.

I have only used normal water through this whole grow so far. I have added nothing. My water is terrible I have a filter on it but its old so at this point its probably obsolete. I should probably take it off. But my water ph is 8 and my ppm is 611.Try to use normal water for next / feedings and see if they will perk up a bit and look at ph of soil also what’s ur oh of water going in and also your ppm?
on soil pH 6.5-7 and ppm 100-200 are better, there maybe something hostile in those 611ppm that is either already plenty in that soil or commonly unneeded.But my water ph is 8 and my ppm is 611.
I used to grow using DWC and NFT setup a long time ago, but just recently changed to soil. It is a huge challenge that is its own beast. Overwatering is so easy and usually most peoples issue.I agree I never grow in dirt. Have not done that in probably 25 years or more. I use pro mix. Like you said you know whats going in the plant since the USA promix( gen purp) has no fertz in it Dont like dirt but love coco and peat
