Welcome to the community. You will find a lot of help here.

That plant looks really yellow. What kind of soil are you using? Does it have nutrients pre installed?

No it was just an indoor potting soil i picked up believe it was nutrirnt free. Should i hit it with more nutrients?

Welcome to the community and hope you enjoy it here. And like jamon suggested it could just need a little more food but also just be sure its not from underwatering as ive had the happen to me where top soil looked good but root zone was mostly dry. Not saying thats your issue just something to keep in mind as well

Nah at her stage id say probably like a 16 oz bottle of water will do until a little more mature then can up the water intake. As for now to much could bring on root rot even with fabric pots. I use fabric as well and they are good to help minor over watering mistakes but still can overdo it

Maybe even 8oz every other day or so. And as for making a nutrient mix i usually just make a whole gallon cause i suck at math and just use what i need so ratio isnt out of whack

So the issue probably wouldnt be underwateringbthen as ive been giving more than 8 oz… prob either overwater or nutrient deficient then?

Yeah wouldnt be underwatering and you look okay for overwatering as shes not sad and droopy looking so might just need to increase feeding strength most likely. Going half strength was a smart move and i always encourage people to do that since you can always put in but never take out for the most part so good call on starting low

what stage would you mix at and what strength then to get back on track

I would assume early vegetative at 1/2 strength or is that too much then

Half strength shouldnt hurt her and it will depend on the strain to determine if she is a heavy feeder but starting off at half is good to see how she reacts and if all good next feed increase to 3/4 strength and again see how she reacts all the way up to full strength. Basically 3rd feeding would be full if everything is going well. Also auto flowers normally need less food than photos but thats not always the case and not much of a window for forgiveness when it comes to mistakes

Would probably do 5ml of grow and slowly increase to 10 ml over the next 2 waterings. Like 5, 7.5 then 10 and ph the water to around 6.5ish

It looks like half strength wasn’t quite enough for her so i would gradually start increasing that amount as @Smokey101 suggested.

Maybe jump to 3/4 strength and then full if she responds well

Hi and welcome to the community. I definitely agree with Smokey. I also grow in standard potting soil with perlite and I only started to give half strength nutrients at almost 3 weeks from sprouting. I started in smaller pots and transplanted so I just watered around the plant till then with 6.5 pH. I think Smokey’s 8oz recco is good. I overwatered with about twice that every 2-3 days and got fungus gnat problems. Here she is/was at 18 days, not looking too different from yours. Good luck.

Noticing these white spots real close up… is this spider mites that is damaging plant?

I’m not experienced enough to know. This excellent article describes different leaf issues and yours might be simply down to overwatering.

Color almost starting to look better after nutrients, any tips or pointers on why leaf tips are pointing down

Do the lift method to determine when the plant needs more water. Weight it if you have to. To me it looks like it needs a good dry- back before you feed it again.

Keep it up and you will get it. We are here to help.
