Aww isnt she just a wee cutie lol. Looks like you started her in a smaller pot and got her rootbound?

I didn’t know autos are not supposed to be transplanted

Is it some kind of pest infestation? Or nutrients deficiency?

Nothing wrong with transplanting them mate, just gotta do it before that happens lol.
Looks like shes hungry but it might just be because theres not enough roots to support her.
Ie adding nutes might burn her. Not sure how to improve the situation to be honest but id say thats the problem.
I transplant my autos but most people do prefer to just start in a 3-5gal pot. Saves any potential dramas.

Its not like shes gonna die though mate. Wouldnt stress yourself over it
You in soil or coco?

 

[Firstgrow6]

Potting mix : coco and a few more things probably

The problem is the plants isn’t bushy enough and I’ve lost like 3 fan leaves... I think it is some kind of pest infestation but I’m not sure about it ... i had applied neem oil on the plants and few days back ...
does too much neem oil block the nutrient intake ?

 

[Barney86]

No idea about neem mate. Only pests I've had in my attic have been 2 queen wasps that I dealt with using a shoe lol.
I hadn't spotted that damage there. Took me a few looks. Get a magnifying glass or download one for your phone. If there's anything there you'll be able to see it.
Nothing you can do about the structure though she's not growing anything extra now other than the buds.
What sorta light you got ?

are you now giving bloom nutes? It looks like you are not adjusting your pH into the proper range, and I am assuming you are in soil, and all signs are that the soil no longer can provide the needed nutrients. Let's make sure we don't have a pH problem here, and then we can talk about additives to deal with the deficiencies you are showing.

neem can also damage plants and might be why you lost some leaves, but why did you apply the neem in the first place... did you have a bug problem?

If you look closely there's a couple patchy bits. I missed it first time round. Think that's what he means.

Yea

I also agree with the comments about probably being rootbound. That is a very small container to try to finish out in, and putting some fresh soil under her would probably give her a noticeable boost in ability to gather nutrients out of that soil as the roots stretch out a bit.
