First grow help

Hi this is my first post on my first real grow in a 60x24x80 tent with a Mars hydro tsw2000 in 3 gal fabric pots , filtered water and fox farm nutes that I used for one dose thus far. What can I do to help heal these girls ? The autoflower started flowering and I have no idea what to do lol , the 3 are acapolco gold , the one autoflower is AK.
AG-40 days old AK like 30 days old.

I water them until a bit of run off every other day or so depending on how dry it gets, I haven’t check PH fox farm ocean soil , fox farm trio yes. I’ve only given one dose of grow big after 30 days from last transplant
Thank you!

No idea about the first 3 but the 4th pictures looks to be a N toxicity. Fan leaves are DARK green and the top leaves are curled down like a claw.

I do know that the first thing you have to do is heck you're run off on both EC and PH. Filter your run of water first using a coffee filter or something to make sure there's no dirt in it to get a better reading.

So ocean forest soil has a good dose of nutes in it. Your plants aren't real big compared to the pot size so it's doubtful they used up all the nutes in the mix yet. One dose of the 3 part in a month shouldn't give you a toxicity; IF it wasn't mixed too strong. What kind of filtered water? Do you know the PPM of it?
Watering every other day isn't great for them. Your RH is 68% in the pic and those pots are a good size; they should only need fluids once a week.
So first thought is that they might be waterlogged due to your watering method.
Second though is they haven't been drained properly. Roots are two ways; they give off wastes that need to be flushed.
Third is you have a PH imbalance that is locking up nutrients in your soil.
I would mix up a large batch of water and PH it 5.8-6.0 and saturate each pot until it just starts to drain. Then I'd flush each one real well with water and check the runoff for PH and PPM. Then I'd go away until they got real light; like a week. I'd probably mix up a batch of the foxfarm next and put that to them but you have to put the fert on the same way as the water. Saturate the pot and then run a good amount through it to wash the root zone. It's how I do it anyway.
 
Thank you @MustGro ,
I will to do some research on those things and have to do all that. I do not know my PH of water I use tap filtered through a pur fosset head filter which I googled and it should be around 6-6.5
I think I was underestimating my watering amounts and doing it too often to ensure I don’t over water or underwater. I will try doing a nice soak once a week and check the soil each day and get a feel for the weight. Thank you for the help brotha
 
@MustGro do you think these will be able to bounce back in you’re experience or should I throw them out on my balcony for the rest of summer ? I don’t want to waste my VEG tent if maybe they will continue to have problems. Thanks again

They'll bounce back if we found the problem. Is just the auto in flower or did you flip them all? They have some size to them; me personally I'd want to flower them out inside.
Plus what if you started new ones and they did the same thing. Unless you really want to put them outside, I wouldn't. Also any plant that I put outside never re-enters my grow room. Too easy to get bugs.
 
Okay the 3 I will keep in the tent, thank you man I have faith I can get it figured out the autoflower I’m just rolling with until these go into the flower tent . Just an experiment plant honestly never grew any autoflowers

I've never grown an auto personally. I'm too much of a control freak in my grow; I'll decide when they flip thank-you. Smaller yields too. They do have their place though; especially outside if you have a short season. I'm in Canada and autos are popular in places like Alberta where it can get real cold early.
