Seem to have a deficiency I am unfamiliar with. As you can see in picture 5 the leaf is changing colour to a light green, in the part of the leaf that is light green is very crispy and crumbles when you touch it.

Hi GeenthumbCBD I can see that you have incorrect ph and over feed on first feeding. I normally star slowly on boom nutrition until she's gets used to them and by the way Autoflower plants don't need as much nutes as photoperiodic plants. You mate poured in 8ml per litre nutes.This has caused over feeding and Nutrition lock out. Suggestion 1-Flush her now with 6PH water Till her new growth looks bit darker green. After flushing use only 6PH water for next 2 waterings. 2- try to keep PH at 6ph water and soil 3-Don't give her nutrition for at least a week. 4-when starting nutrition again go 1/2 the recommended dose By suppliers that's maximum for Autoflowers I go. 5-I don't give more then 1.2liters water per feeding this ensures soil dry out quickly enough to get good air circulation. Hope this helps and good luck with your grow.

It is for sure a nutrient lockout, try reducing your pH and a nice flush and see if this helps her out! 🌱👍

Curious if your pH listed is the feed applied or your run-off readings? If it's feed applied, I agree with high roller, and would drop to 6.1-6.2. There appears to be a clear deficiency and even toxicity (dark green foliar) at the same time, but is all a result of the soil pH. Regardless of whether it's a surplus or lack of nutrients, the soil maladjustment needs to be addressed first. Fix that and everything else falls into place with nutrients being taken up at appropriate time and amounts. Suggested actions: At least two consecutive "flush throughs" at balanced tap with a micro dose of, or with no nutrients. I usually like to add micro doses when I flush through so I'm not starving her of everything. Wash out the old and bring in the new. I usually look for 25-30% run off when I do this, more then my usual. But this ensures I'm washing away more of the excess salts I don't want that may very well be causing the soil pH imbalances. I hope his helps somewhat, my friend. Just a little time and tweaks. Good luck no matter what course of action you choose. Cheers👍😉
