Autoflower stunted can I SAFE it ?(With photo)

Hey guys.
This is a 9 days old autoflower seedling.
It stoped growing after 5 days.
I thought that is was because I didn't use perlite or it didn't have enough nutes.
So I gave it a little bit nutes I know that was stupit it got nute burned. So I tried to flush it with 2 liter's water. 2 Days later it looked like on the photo.

the question is: CAN I SAFE THIS OR DO I START OVER?
And do I need to use perlite?

Tnx to all the people who red this.

you cant really give any seedlings any nuits for the first 14 days or that will happen. me myself for how young it is I would start again but I'm sure there will be others on here that might be able to help you save it, good luck which ever you end up doing

Tnx
And should I use perlite or is it not really a must for an autoflower

Hey gutted to hear things haven't started great , I've been logging my auto daily and in comparison my day 2 is about where your at .
Having said this I would focus your energy on a fresh start and leave her in a corner to see what happens .

My grow journal on auto, only on day 11 but could possibly be a good reference to seeing an auto start/progress .

I have always used BioBizz light mix for seedlings and all mix for cuttings, it has already got perlite mixed in to it. It has always done me proud with autos or non autos

Quit watering it. Leave it alone and see what happens. It might recover but will hurt yield.
