help save her

please help. my plants just keep getting more and more yellow, everyday i notice more yellow on the undergrowth. one of the oldest leaves just shriveled up and died, and another is about to. my two autoflowers, are almost 4 weeks old. this is my first grow and i got a little excited about the nutes and stupidly gave them some at 13 days, i burnt them. since then their health seems to go back and forth but now it's going really downhill. the crystal, my larger plant is very droopy, it use to be that she perked up a bit after a watering, but now, nothing. my smaller one, skunk #1 has some yellowing leaves but other then that she looks healthy and for the most part happy, just very small. i'm worried about them, i thought the yellowing was from the nute burn at first so ive only been giving PH water, but apparently that's not how nutrient burn looks. a couple days ago i started another forum and people told me that it was a nitrogen defiancey and she was starving, so i gave them both 1/4 of a gallon that had 2ml of BioMarine NPK 2-3-1 (recommended start dosage is 5ml), and it didn't fix anything. my soil is pretty woody, and i'm afraid some of her soil is staying moist while other parts are drying out very fast, like some sort of a drainage problem. i'm using new soil next grow and ive mostly came to the conclusion that this grow was a fail, but i still would like to get some buds because of how much i payed, i don't want her to shrivel up and die before i can harvest. here's some information, please help

up until 13 days old i was keeping top soil moist with spray bottle.

i wait until my soil moistness meter is on 1 to water.

400 Watt MH w/ wing reflector about 18 inches away up until yesterday, when i switched to a 400watt HPS w wing reflector, put it about 24 inches away, and i'm slowly lowering it.

here is the first weird thing i saw on her, small rusty looking spots on one of her fan leaves

it then progressed to this

and then earlier today, died.

this picture was taken 2 days ago

now looks like this

there are other leaves affected as well

some more weird little marks


she has some very beautiful new growth coming in
here are some pictures of the full plant


please help me, i don't know if she'll make it.

Standard nute burn

whats the pot size..?

IMO: flush/pour 3 times the pot volume thru the pot

with ph neutral air temperate water

allow to drain in dim light for 8 hours better over night

to continue in the morning

monitor close for the next 2 days if no improvement

repeat!

after 5 days repot to a larger pot with a 50/50 mix of quality soils/FFOF and perlite

NO MORE NUTES ....EVER

good luck

ps the red stems is too cold a nights see to ur temps

the yellowing of the leaves is nutrient burn?

yip

avoid removing until crisp and brown

use the poor leaves as a control point

good luck

Looks to me like over watering and/or over feeding....both of which express pretty much the same symptoms. Mellow out on the nutes by 1/2...and let your plant dry out more between waterings.
