Hi @Litngrn! It seems that your plant is suffering from three different issues. The first one is over-feeding, the 3 fingers leaves are often a sign of too much Nitrogen during the preflowering stage, and the dark green coloration of your leaves confirms that theory. The second issue is a wrong pH range, a rootmass with a 6.8 pH won't be able to handle nutrient uptakes and will start to show signs of disorder (deficiency, toxicity, or lockout..). Last but not least, your plant suffered from a heat-stress and/or light-stress, your light was too close to the canopy and as a result your leaves are curling upward. Give it a break, stop adding nutrients everytime you water, try to stick to the perfect pH range for soil, which is 6.2~6.5, nothing above, nothing below, and raise up your light to ensure a good temperature at the canopy, you can also add a small fan to improve the airflow, static air is much more dangerous than moving air (for heat reasons, but also to fight mold/mildew and bugs/pests). You might need to re-calibrate your pH pen, just to be safe for the last weeks. Hope this will help, let me know in the comments section if you need any further information, and happy growing! 👊

Your plant is telling showing me a sign of over feeding. Autoflowers do not use the same amount of nutrients as a photoperiod plant. They actually use far less amount. I would cut doses back after a flush with pH water. Also yes your grow light was to close or your temps where to high. Your cannabis plant can only withstand a certain amount of heat and light. After a certain point, your cannabis will start exhibiting signs of stress on the leaves near the sources of light and/or heat. Your leaves will get yellow or brown brown spotting and may appear generally burnt in places when there’s too much light. It’s also common for leaves to curl up or down, fold inward like conoes or tacos, and for the serrated edges of leaves to start flipping up.
