Based on the limited info and pictures supplied it could be anything.
I'm going to guess and say that the dark shiny leaves with burnt, clawed tips
suggests N tox & or over watering. I don't see any perlite in the soil mix &
it looks awfully compacted, what is in it & what are you doing for drainage?
And how about your light? What power and percentage and height above
canopy. Also, how old is she and how often are you watering and fertilizing
and @ what age did you start? How about RH?

If the leaves are somewhat straight out or pointing up a little, the light is @ a
good height. If leaves are pointed up @ 30-40 degree angle and "praying"
means they want more light. If extreme "praying", taco-ing or drooping
down as if to cover up and protect themselves = too much light - in which
case raise the light &/or reduce power if you're able to.

Farm?

yeah, autos are not tollerant to stressors. It looks a bit stunted maybe, they also don't need full strength nutes. The first 21 days are so critical to a good start for autos and unfortunately one hiccup does usually affect final results. Don't give up on her though

Definitely nute burn. Do yourself a favor and get
at least a cheap pair of pens, so you know exactly
what you are giving them. They also allow you to
measure the runoff so you have a better idea of
what's happening in the root zone. (I would suggest a
better set, or an all in one if you can swing it. I use
"Blue Labs" which are a bit pricey, but highly accurate,
trustworthy and well worth the money). Don't forget
calibration solutions

That's what super cropping is meant to do. It creates very strong
knots that are able to transport more nutrients and support
monster buds. Supper Cropping definitely helps produce bigger
and better crops imo. It is not for the faint of heart as it involves
purposely crushing the stalks. From the web:

1. Increased Yield​

  • Bending the branches redistributes hormones (auxins), promoting multiple top colas instead of a single dominant one.
  • This results in more bud sites and bigger harvests.

2. Stronger, Thicker Stems​

  • The damaged tissue heals back thicker and stronger, making plants more resistant to breakage.
  • Helps support heavy buds in later flowering stages.

3. Better Light Penetration & Canopy Control​

  • Super cropping spreads out the plant structure, allowing more light to reach lower bud sites.
  • Reduces shading and popcorn buds, leading to denser, higher-quality flowers.

4. Enhanced Trichome & Resin Production​

  • The mild stress triggers a defense response, often leading to higher cannabinoid and terpene production.
  • Can result in stronger-smelling, more potent buds.

5. Can Be Used to Manage Height​

  • Helps control stretchy sativas or plants getting too tall for indoor spaces.
  • Keeps plants at an even height, making them easier to manage under grow lights.

6. Increases Airflow & Reduces Mold Risk​

  • By spreading branches out, airflow improves, reducing the chance of mold, mildew, and pests.
  • Especially useful in humid environments.

Hell yea thanks 4 the advice they say super cropping might not be good 4 some autos because of such short lifespan but gorilla cookies does take 10 weeks maybe longer so yea I do believe it will increase my harvest also I've introduced some light stress on main stem and have good bend in it waiting on other branches 2 get stro g enough 4 me 2 put them bend on em as well

*Super cropping is stressful on the plants (HST) and probably
not well suited for Auto's as they do not tolerate
stress very well
