I'm doing it like you and using it for autos. I was thinking that an organic super soil would be the easiest way for a nubie to be successful with autos.

Autos finish sooner and are smaller generally speaking, you might get away with it. If you dont a small bottle of organic nutes is not that expensive, even though I would advice to invest in a bigger one since its cheaper per liter the bigger you buy it.

I'm using organics all the way bro! I like the idea of the microbes and the living soil and I very much plan on augmenting! I have the line up of roots organic on hand and plan on sticking with them.

As a general rule, I've never seen a soil that can go from seed to harvest with just water. Every prepared soil I've used or saw someone using, usually peters out around week 6 - 7 so you are right in line as far as the results that I have seen.

As has been suggested, feed your plant some bloom formula. Any decent one will work. I like using the FloraNova line from GH. I use just the bases both Grow and Bloom with some Cal/Mag but not much else. It'll probably have a modest amount of cal/mag in it but if you are showing signs of deficiency I would supplement with additional cal/mag. I like to use Cali Magic from GH mostly because it's usually pretty cheap to buy but any of the ones you find should be sufficient.

I don't use boosters or other stuff because most are usually a little of this with a lot of water added in. I haven't used a booster that I can say made an appreciable difference from just using Bloom base. This was one of the lessons I learned from many years of working in licensed grow operations. None of them that I worked at used any of the expensive name brand stuff like Advanced Nutrients or Fox Farm or whatever other pretty label gets us to buy it. The only name brands I ever saw used in production were either General Hydroponics or Dyna Gro. The Master Growers I got to talk to told me brand doesn't matter as long as the content makeup was acceptable. While most will claim their supplement will do this and that I've never seen a claim actually hold up consistently.

Also just to confirm with everyone, that leaf that @Eledin pointed out was in fact just an illusion caused by the blue lights from the LEDs lol had me worried for a minute but im glad to know its not as bad as it looked in that picture. The last leaf shown in the video is gonna kinda show the illusion pretty well, it looks like its browning but its just the light from a red LED

Its not a LED ilusion man, those are rusty hehe. Your panel doesnt have enough red to cause that at that distance plus when I pointed out the leaf it was partially shadowed on some parts with copper. Maybe the light made it look worse but those are def calmalg deficiencies.

Well considering i moved those leaves and the light stayed in the same spot..... id say its definitely an illusion dude lol moved those leaves, they were green, then redish when they went back. Those colors are an illusion caused by the camera and the LED lights. In person is way different than with a camera.

Oh, okay if you say they are green I have no reason to doubt you, you want help so you wouldnt lie about that otherwise you wouldnt be able to get help but it does look a lot like some leaves have copper stains. So its only the one yellow leaf the one affected?

It could yes, if the soil is not depleted already. In that case without more nutes those will be quite useless.

Suggars are to help them thrive. What you really want form them is to eat the organic matter from your fertilizers.
