She looks like she got hammered, but you still got live foliage on her to keep the energy input going. Based on the trics and buds structure i would say a healthy plant had 1-2 weeks to go, but in that condition maybe more like 3-4. I got an auto much in the same place as yours. You know you got at least some thc production done and will harvest flower that will get you a buzz but still a ways from being fully ripe and you know shes ready to swell up and put on a high portion of your finished yield. If space and time is not an issue i would limp her a long until she either finishes or dies, either one wont be more then a month-6weeks. If your in a rush for produtions chopper now and start over. Still smoke the shit, it will at least tell you the terp profile flavor and general effect of the buzz just less potent so you'll know of it is worth running again

Is your soil depleted of nutes or did you burn it af? The question is, can the plant even live and grow and progress? I think yes but barely. I would chop some off though and check for mold. And then leaves some of the lowers of maybe ones that could continue you leave. And then smoke it asap and see if it works.

Most of your issues were from the use of Coco Loco. It is severely lacking in full plant nutrition. Mostly EWC / bat guano.

A simple switch to a more complete potting mix like ocean forest would have powered that autoflower for weeks.
Most auto will average around 90-100 days ( + or - ) which would could have been easily covered with just some topdressing of fresh soil to replenish what the plant used during its grow. DTE has some fine nute amendments - like Bio-Live and ALL Purpose, but somethin like Fox Farm Ocean Forest is ready to use right from the bag.

Plant is missing fan leaf and has necrotic leaf - seems stressed too - which can affect autos since they don’t have time to recover.
I think buds will be what they are.

Not the end of the world. Start a fresh container / new seed.

i didn’t like the coco loko at all. Im not sure if i underwatered or feed to much or to little. First time trying autos and it was a disaster from the start grow a xl cheese auto along with her and the both looked like her (probably worse). She seemed stunted from the beginning and was a very slow grower then suddenly the leaves start getting crispy. The buds are solid though. Next run I have some build a soil to try out. Hope that helps. Thanks for the advice.
