Autoflower Grow: Leaves Look Bad.Please Help

Hey everyone....I have a couple of autos growing n they started of great...there about three weeks in n today I notice a problem...on one of my plants the edges of the leaves are losing color n turning mostly yellow..the button leaves are seem to be dying n curling down...the other plant has same problem but yellow spots also...I get pics up wen I can...does anyone have a clue wat this is
 
That looks like nutrient burn to me. I know that when I grew some Diesel Ryders last year, they were very sensitive to overfeeding. What's your nutrient schedule?

Exactly the same thing is happening with me, I guess I should have cut the soil down more with perlite. All I am doing is feeding it with distilled water, I hope this helps.

I was having trouble with autos, had 5 nute burn within 3 days of sprouting, using MG. Ocean forest is full of nutes right off, organics, earthworm casings, bat guano, ect. What I did with the remaining 3, which recovered nicely from what I would call severe burn (see pic of change), is take a plastic spoon and scoop around the entire seedling, far enough to make sure not to cut the roots. Then knocked off a litle more soil and put some rooting dust on them. Then I scooped out a large portion of the soil and replaced it with jiffy seed starter organic (good ph, no nutes, has worked well for me on seedlings) then 1.jpgflushed it. After flushing I replaced the sprout and within a few days it was in serious recovery. Still not 100% but it's getting there. I think autos are WAY more likely to have nute burn, I've never had it before using my own soil was just lazy this time around.

If it is only on the one leaf then hold off doing anything just yet. If the whole plant is starting to show signs of the same aliment then we have another issue. I do not think its nute burn because none of the other leaves are showing stress and if anything it might be telling you to start feeding her something.

...But the last thing i want to do right now is give it more nutes,how do i know if that the problem. I guess il just give it till the end of the week and see what happens

Sorry man but can I see pics of it? The ones you posted are old and they didn't help a lot so we need to see them.

I dont want to speculate but here goes lol... The leaf set in question looks to be VERY close to the soil top - which says to me that you probably watered w nutes and it happened to dip into the solution without you realizing it. I've put nute water onto plant leaves and its not a pretty site, damn near automatic death. lol
