Thanks for linking your diary! If you are using lots of coco coir in your mix, you will have to give extra calcium and magnesium (cal/mag supplement) about once a week. Also feeding more frequently than only once in 3 weeks, as perlite, clay pebbles and coir all have zero nutrients, maybe at this stage, every 5-7 days with half strength nutrients with a splash of plain water between feedings. There is no need to "rinse" the substrate at this stage/age, leave this until you get close to harvesting the mature flowers. Also, I would strongly urge you to go to 18/6, this is far healthier for your plants, all plants NEED sleep to finish their photosynthesis cycle and to have a correctly functioning metabolism. A plant with an incorrectly functioning metabolism will never grow to its best potential. In reality, the myth that it is ok to grow for weeks/months without sleep (24/0) needs to be removed from the cannabis world! You will not lose anything by going to 18/6, in fact you will gain much due to having plants with correctly functioning metabolisms. Nothing on planet earth can survive and fuction properly without sleep or a "circadian rhythm" of activity/rest/activity/rest..... 18/6 has been proven to be the optimum lighting schedule for cannabis through 90+ years of research and is not a random number. At this stage your plants are probably exhausted and under some stress. Anyway, feed a bit more often, add some cal/mag and go to 18/6 and in 2 weeks you should be very happy with how things have progressed! Hope this helps, Organoman.

Is your substrate pre fertilized or not pre fertilized? If not you can feed her more often and you don't need to rinse her if you using soil. I think she needs nutrients in general and more noticeably nitrogen. If you're using coco keep your substrate moist and feed every time with half the minimum dose but if it is soil you can start feeding her twice a week with the minimum recommended dose.

It looks as if it's starving a bit... if you only fed them 2 weeks ago, you need to feed them more often! Since it's an auto, you will need to be cautious with the amount of nutes you're giving them but definitely get on a regimen of water/feed/water/feed etc... Make sure what you're giving them (water or nutes) is PH balanced between 6.0 and 6.5 so as to not cause a lockout and they can get the nutes they need. Also, the leaves curling up is indicative of overwatering so make sure that the pot is completely dry before you give it water/nutes. I only grow autoflowers so take a peek at any of my diaries... we use different nutes but that shouldn't matter.... Good luck!

P.S. - You can leave the damaged leaves until they are completely yellow before cutting them off, they will not cause any issues until then.
