Holy cow... first of all, your pH is WAY too low for a soil grow - you need it up between 6.0 and 6.5 at this stage. Second, the pH swings you've put her through (your diary said you'd had a pH of 7.0 and now you say it's 5.6) is really stressing this poor lady out... find SOME way of measuring the pH and try to keep the reading steady! Finally, the amount of nutes you gave her is going to kill her... I would immediately run 3x the pot size of pH'd water through her to get rid of those nutes... so for this grow, you've got to run 15 liters of pH'd water (ph it to 6.5) through and then let her dry out completely. When she's dry, you can give her some nutes - but only at 1/4 strength of what is recommended in the feeding chart! If she takes them well, you can increase to 1/2 strength the next time she needs nutes (and definitely practice the water/feed/water/feed type of routine). Always make sure the pot is completely dry before giving her whatever comes next (water or nutes)... Autoflowers are definitely finicky and they usually don't like/can't tolerate the dosages recommended by nute manufacturers... you need to take them slowly, slowly... Flush them out, stablize the pH and don't feed them a lot! Good luck....

Try watering a lil further from the base of your plant. Make your water ring two or so inches from the tip of your leaves. Especially this early in her life.
