Are you saying you started it in coco and transplanted to soil?
The more info you can provide.......the better.

No i potted it in its final pot from seed with coco coir I’m not a rookie grower but I never grew critical auto 2.0 so I don’t really know how it reacts to things I been feed nuts for a week I water once a day

How was the coir rinsed, cleaned and buffered? That's way to big of a pot to start in coir. You should not treat coir like peat or other soil like mediums with dry backs between waterings.
In the beginning you have to feed them by spray bottle, not to wet, not to dry til their roots are established. Then feed daily with 20% runoff.

I always grow autos in 3 gallon pots never had a issue till now it’s fox farm cultivation nation coco it’s already buffed an rinsed I believe from what the bag says

Don't be afraid to transplant autos! I have never treated them any different and have never had any problems. I grew the first generations in temperate climate outdoors successfully.
Most myths are from 15 years back when autos stopped producing if you looked at it the wrong way. They are more stable nowadays.

Do you water to 20% runoff? I think the main problem is watering practices and/or nutrient strength.
It's really hard to not burn them if you don't feed them very lightly in the beginning without runoff. Otherwise you repeat the same root environment every feed cycle. You just replace optimal values over and over again and it's more or less impossible to overwater in coir with established plants, but runoff is essential.
I don’t water to run off when there that young I fear of overwatering but if you’re suggesting that I do I will

The newbie thread is still full of complaints about autos not being auto. Males...
Autos are not a predictable creation.. even now

No I would personally never grow an Auto indoors, makes no sense at all. I never recommend people growing them and write regularly about their misuse indoors and their original breeding purpose.
Another things is it's way harder to breed and get them stable and a lot of seed chuckers trying to catch up on the auto craze and as a result are spreading a lot of unstable and bad seeds. We have to help all the lost souls coming on here who bought in to all the bs marketing.

I suggest getting 100% coco peat and starting in a way smaller pot until it rooted up nicely.
Also for seedlings or even clones bottom feeding is the way to go.
You mist when they are not quite out yet or are slightly popping up.
Then once they are out and have their first leaf apart from the cotelydons you bottom feed.
Start off straight away with 0.6EC at the least.
If your coco isn't buffered and you use R/O water add calmag.
Always have clean coco or wash it...
Which is not a nice process.
After bottom feeding a few days you can start with regular fertigation from the top.
Also dry back cycles especially in veg are needed. Don't ever dry out the plant.
But going back a good 20-30% vwc
( so from about 50-55% in pure coco )
And eventhough it might seem scary it causes a slight stress response needed for the plant to root out more.
Ps: I fully agree don't mess with autos lol.
So disappointing bud always

What overwatering in coco??
It'll just run out.
If you get the right size pot to begin with there's no more dilemma
