So here is my nyc diesel autoflower about day 40 from seedling and leafs are started to get yellow/orangey. I grow it in organic soil and thought it was too much P in my nutes, then thought not enough K. Now i'm thinking its light burn since I had my led closer. What do you think ?

You say organic soil and nutes in the same sentence.

What type of soil and what's in it and what do you mean by nutes?

I knew someone would get me on that ;)
Here is the recipee of the hot soil I had cooked 2 weeks before potting in a 3 gallon pot :
2cups: org nutes, bone meal, blood meal
1 bag ewc,
1 bag fish compost(ph controlled)
2 bags organic premixed soil(alfalfa, kelp, bloodmeal etc...)
1.5 bags peatmoss
Perlite (enough)
3 old frozen bananas(for potassium)
Fungus stuff(think its mycorrhizae)
Composter accelerator
Dry leaves
4 cups stone dust
2.5 cups dolomite lime

Drop the blood meal. Drop the leaves. Drop the frozen banana. Less rock dust.

Recipe looks fine. for the most part.

One would have to know how hot the organic soil you used is.

I say the biggest issue is the soil not cooking long enough and possible ph problems along with it.

Do you know a way to test/ajust the PH of organic soil ? I don't know if it's gonna get better since leaves were alright early in the grow

Mix one part soil to one part distilled water and test slurry or get soil test probe or strips.

I'm not 100 percent sure but generally organic soil needs to cook longer.

I bought a peat base similar to promix and one bale was bad. Had ph problems no matter what I did. Finally had to dig them up. That is not an option so he you are in flower.

What type of water you using and how much and often?
