Sorry to hear you're having issues with your grow.

One quick form to fill out to get the best advice possible first off.

Problem:

Medium/grow method:

Feed: and supplements used:

water source:

Strain/age:

light used:

Climate:

Additional info:

This will give readers a more in depth look at what's going on. Try to be as descriptive and as detailed as you can be. A lot of problems stem from multiple mistakes.

From what I can see in the pic it looks like you might have a ton of salt build up in your soil/medium which is probably creating too acidic/base soil/medium and locking almost everything out. The green in the leaves tells me your soil is loaded with nitrogen, but without more info. A wild guess is all that we can do. When it comes to feeding especially with autos less is more. In order to feed the max amounts a plant can handle with success everything needs to be dialed in perfectly. Too little light and the plant can't use everything your pumping in, humidity and temp out of wack and your plant can't uptake water effectively, or even too quickly which causes imbalance in the plant and root zone.
 
*I'm only using foxfarm ocean forest soil
*The nutrients I'm using is floralgrow, micro and bloom.
*Tap water
*Tastebud genetics - yuzi sour, sticky mango, moonberry pie and from germ to now it's been 30 days
*(2 ) Arknoah 3600 watt led
*About 70 degrees
 
I flushed the soil around day 23 when I first started to see this problem. I flushed with tap water and then again with tap water 30 mins later that day.

Just so you know flushing can cause more problems if you do it wrong. If you're using tap water I'm guessing that means you don't monitor ph levels of the inputs and the soil?

If you dont ph is the one thing you're gonna wanna start monitoring in the future. Ph is directly responsible for what the plants can and cannot absorb. In soil it's best to keep the ph of your soil and inputs between 6.1 and 6.5 but the plant can tolerate 5.8-6.8 and still growing fairly well. You'll see it get sluggish and have some discoloration because it isn't metabolized everything it needs at that point. Anything beyond that and your plant will most likely shut down and die because it can't absorb but a few nutrients. With that said if you keep adding salt build up occurs and when that starts happening even more imbalance occurs. Once the concentration of some of the minerals a plant needs reaches a certain level it stops uptaking other nutrients because of it

Flushing a plant shouldn't be done with completely plain water. It should have a very low dose of balanced nutrients at the right ph, with like a ppm of 200-300. Usually the rule of thumb if your flushing the soil out is at least 2 times the volume of soil in water ran through the pot, so if your in a 5 gallon you'd flush with 10 gallons of water.

Also tap water has a bunch of chemicals in it. You should let it off gas in an open container for 24-48 hours before using it in your garden. Also download your water report to find out what the mineral content of your tap is, theres a chance it's got a lot of stuff the plant can use which means cutting back a bit on bottle feed
