1st Auto Grow - Nute Burn?

Thanks for the help! I think my LSD has nute burn, but I gave her the same amount as the Northern Lights and the difference is clearly noticeable (only the first time, a couple days ago, only water now). They're both about 3 weeks old.
I know autos are finnicky, and if you screw up it's easy to ruin so trying to get this under control ASAP!
4x4 tent
Spider Farmer S2000
Happy Frog Soil
5g Fabric Pot
Medi-One (nutes)
2 intake fans for fresh air, 1 removing to another room with a ducting,1 oscillating inside, with a humidifier.

The autos I have had that turned out the best were fed the least.

This is where i fucked up going from autos to photos. My experience starting with autos taught me that weed doesnt need hardly any nutrients. Photos taught me something entirely different.

I’m about to be in that boat. I just mainlined some photos I have GH trio so plenty of nutrients if needed!

Hey OP! How about water all the way around the plant till run off next time. I think you will see it perk up.

I grew a photo my first time, last grow and did Jack Herer. No issues at all, same setup, format soil etc.
I wanted to try autos

My experience with autos is that making a soil-coco mix with perlite and clay pebbles, so that its not very strong in nutrients to begin with. But also adding biotabs, which is a slow release nutrient, then after the plant looks big enough to be able to take it, starting to feed just a little bit slowly increasing the dose with bottled nutes(i used biobizz) and then moving to heavier feed towards the end focusing more on PK.

I have tried a bunch of different methods with autos(i mostly have grown autos) and this seems the way to go if you grow autos on soil.

The low nutrient need for autos is only for early stage. Autoflowers have the same nutrient needs than photos of the same size. Some more ruderalis oriented ones could be more picky on nutrients, but im talking about modern strains. And its not that some photos would not require lighter feed than others, so autos arent anything special, unless you use something still closely related to wild ruderalis.

Thank you for the in depth response.
My problem or I guess question is why they were dropped the same day, fed and watered the same, yet the LSD burned and Northern didn't. Both are autos, same bean provider.

Never grown an auto LSD. But I have grown LSD in the past. And although it is a cross and not full Sativa. Every pheno I came across still had very Sativa tendencies when it came to nutrients. Very touchy to say the least. Less is more and slow and patient wins the race.

Some strains can handle more nutrients better. If thi is fastbuds lds auto, if i remember right it is a bit picky on the nutes from what i read. I tried to grow these, but 2 out of 3 hermied early flowering and i didnt pop the 3rd seed being afraid its also a hermie :/

Hope you got better luck with them. The strain description seems really good and they did have decent growth, altho they were not the biggest ones, but from the shape of it, you could tel lthat it would had been a good plant even tho compact sized
