Would putting off my first feeding for a day or two do this much damage to the plant? I've given it 2 feedings since then and hoping it's on the right track as the new growth is nice and green.

It looks more like a Cal/Mag issue. When in flower the plants use a lot more Cal/Mag. The upper leaves and buds are stealing nutrients from your lower leaves. With autos it typically starts showing up in the leaves around week 6-7. The deficiency probably started back in week 4 when growth increased. Even though you have been adding Cal/Mag all along there may be an issue of soil ph causing lock out of the nutrients or a possible excess of another nutrient blocking absorption. There are certain proportions for calcium and magnesium that need to be used since excess of either micro nutrient can actually block out the other. Potassium 4 parts, Calcium 2 parts, Magnesium 1 part. I would suggest increasing your Cal/Mag dose to 2 ml per liter since this product contains nitrogen you need to account for this if using another nitrogen product in order to prevent nutrient burn. I also agree with Spinner about ph I woulds suggest using 5.8-6.2 for watering and feeding. If you have hard water even when you adjust the ph if you leave the mix sitting there for 1/2 hour you will see it "bounce back up" to a higher ph. This bounce happens more often than people think. Not sure if that is the case with your water supply. If your water is more than 200 ppm in TDS I would suggest using reverse osmosis or distilled water to dilute the tap water down or in half this will help you maintain a constant ph. Also when your plants are large enough to water the entire pot measure the runoff ph and PPM to give you a better idea what your dealing with.👍

It makes me think of a PH issue , your ph is 6.5 the sweet spot is 5.8 so maybe it can have a negative impact on the plants. The burning doesn't looks like nutrients burn but ph burn. On the other hand I believe that your feeding is too light for that stage you should run a 1.8ec at least
