Could be the light but I think its nutrient burn. If your using this https://www.plagron.com/en/products/growmix
It says it has an ec of 1.5 and then your adding nutrients on top of that. Way to much for an auto flower.
Stick to straight water for at least 2 weeks. You will only need to add nutrients when the soil has been depleted.
As for your light I would stick with the manufactures recommendation. go 45cm at 100%.
That bug is an aphid NOT GOOD. They can quickly infest a crop. I would get some organic soap insect spray and spray your plant before it flowers.

You did it
Moved to lamp up to 60cm above the plant and lowered the amount only watered the plant with 1ml Terra Grow without the Power Roots and Pure Zym.
Good luck

@GrowingGrannie I updated both of my grows now, Diaries are up to date. Should have done that before.

Oh for goodness sake, please start a diary! There are so many things this could be the result of and we need more information in order to help you! What nutes are you using? How old is she? This looks like it could be a zinc deficiency ... how are you measuring the PH? The problem is we don't have a diary and, tbh, even if you give answers to our questions HERE, we probably aren't going to come back to see if you've answered them... the diary is crucial! Start a diary, join the community - we really DO want to help!

Light: Niello Meanwell MN-W6 350W running at 80%
I am using soil, Plagron Growmix with perlite.
PH at water/nutrients is at 6.4 PH
Its an Autoflower Afghan Mass XXL.
The light was about 35/40 cm of the plant, I lifted it back up to 60cm now.

what light are you using and how far is it from the canopy. Are you using coco or soil ?What is the ph of the water/nutrients when you feed/water. 5 ml/l is recommended feed so at 1.5 its probably not nutrient issue. is this an auto flower or photo.
I would guess light burn. If not then lack of food or ph out of range

This margin curl appears to have spread from one plant to 2 of the other 3. So I assumed not pH, not lockout, not nutrient based. Roots all great. I've culled the 3 and there is 1 survivor doing well but what was this? In the diary I mention using Temprid FX, Neem, Spinosad.4 months ago

Starting to yellowSo I had good growth up until 2 days ago when the one plant started to yellow. I had them going 24 hours a day and I got grow dots mixed in the bottom two thirds of the pots. Could this be light stress? or could it be hungry?Leaves. Color - Yellow

Maybe PH Lockout?Hello everyone, can you maybe help me? My Black Cherry Punch has some kind of problem. I suspect it’s a nutrient lockout caused by the pH value. I flushed it two days ago, and the drain had a PPM of 1000 and a pH of 7. The plants are at the beginning of the 2nd week of flowering.Leaves. Edges burnt

Leaf-tips going droopy modeAfter my second to last watering the tips of all of the leaves started to droop a bit. I though it was connected to the night-cycle of my light, but it continues to worsen every day. However I only watered after the soil was dry too the touch? Is it really overwatering or else?Leaves.

Advise to flush or feed in VegDoes this is look like a nute burn, deficiency, or ph problem? The two plants that are growing a tad taller have had yellowing tips some curling downward. Don’t want to overreact and cause it to worsen, they’re looking healthy otherwise. Any advise whether to flush or feed?Leaves. Curl down
