Hello fellow green thumbs. im a new grower in the need of some help. ive had one nice harvest before and im going for a second. i am growing an autoflower called Short Ryder. it germinated well, and for the first 2 weeks had alot of vigor, growing a new internode almost evry two days. now however its definitely slowed. the leafs are turning yellow, and older ones falling off and dying, a few small parts of the edge which have curled and browed. It was transplanted into the main pot after it was 1.5 weeks. I have also FIMed (topped) it a few days after transplanting.The soil mix made was as follows:
-4 parts organic vermiculture
-2 parts worm castings
-1 part chicken manure
-1 part small rocks
-1 part sand
-1 part pumice stones
-2 tbsp seaweed extract in granular form
-5ml of a micronutrient solution - Zn, Fe, Mn, B
1/2 part of rock phosphate
3/4 part of ammonium nitrate
this soil mix was left to sit in sun for a month, watered every other day, and tilled. we tested the pH to be between 6 and 7. the water supply we have is basic, but i made a test batch of nutrients which read a 6.5.
In terms of climate, its fairly warm, around 25-30 on average (tropical climate) without any way to cool the room down. the average humidity is between 60 and 70.
Here are some pics

The first picture is of when it was two weeks old, healthy. the rest are the op now. along with the window fan there is a ceiling fan on full blast all the time. and i just put in another oscillating fan on the ground.
please let me know if u have any ideas
Thanks

No one picked up on that you toped an auto. From what i have read you just let them grow. I did a run of auto's and at about 3 weeks old they started to flower. you do not want to do anything to them that will slow growth. How long did ur super soil sit after you mixed everything up

My soil mix's components which needed a sunbake(chicken feces, compost), sat outside for about 3 weeks, then i mixed all components and let it sit for 4 weeks. everyday it was watered and tilled during that 4 weeks. Yea i really regret topping it now, the growth has pretty much halted. Any suggestions to bring her back to life?
