Weird problem, haven't been able to pin it down.

I was wondering about that, the soil has quite a bit of woody mulch in it. I'll up the nitrogen booster and feed full strength again today and see what happens.

I am in soil, and as another member just mentioned the soil does have quite a bit of woody mulch in it which might be consuming N as it breaks down?
No soil amendments
The manufacturer has a feed rate sheet somewhere which includes soil, I checked it out as I used to grow in straight coco and that sheet said coco nutes at half strength for soil. they also make an "elements" range which is just for hydro.
I have upped the nute strength by 50% and added 20% more N booster, PHd to 6.5 and done a huge feed this morning. also included H2O2 in the solution to see if it knocks down some of the bacteria which are making the N unavailable due to the composting action on the woody mulch component of the soil. If it all turns to custard I'll rip them all out and start fresh with pure coco. no dramas, I've got 6000 seeds left off the mother plant.
thanks heaps for your help.

sorry correction there, i got 7000 seeds off 4 mother plants and have 6000 approx left. did a big grow of 1000 in a 200sqm outdoor area.
if you find an auto strain you like get 5 seeds germinated in a tent and spray the shit out of one of the plants with colloidal silver starting as soon as you see buds . you'll get thousands of seeds and wont have to buy any for years. worked a charm for me.

OP ... scrap it .
There is absolutely ZERO percent chance that plant will move back to health.
Autos are plant and grow .... screw up “ anything “ during its short veg it will be uncorrectable .
Overwatering , wrong Nute feeding , stress will kill off any potential... autos don’t have the time to recover. They continue to move forward ( hence the flowering ) which seems to be a survival move.

Thanks for the advice. Right after I read your post I went and direct planted another seed in each PB18. There are 24 of them and the one in the photo was the worst looking one. the others are quite a bit better. the new seeds will take 5 days to get to an inch high, so if the problem plants aren't looking chipper at that point I'll rip them out and work with the new ones.

Well, I'm not sure I was much help, but you're welcome for whatever positivity comes out of it. More importantly, kudos to you for the positive attitude in terms of what happens in your grow; says a lot about a person. Have a great weekend.

As @Budzbuddha said, scrap it.
Autoflowers only get about 10-20 days in the vegetative stage, so don't have time for the plant to repair base issues before concentrating on just flowering.
It's a survival trait .
