Critical Auto Seedling

Hi,
I planted this autoflowering critical seed from RQS and it’s got some really weird wrinkling of the leaves. I used the paper towel method for germination, which worked great. Because it’s an auto and they’re so sensitive to repotting, I planted the seedling directly into the final pot (worked great in the past). I used biobizz light soil, stretched with some clay granules. The first few days were great, but now the leaves look so wrinkly and shrunken and the plant is growing very slowly. At first I thought I had given the plant sunburn. But after moving the light away, the new leaves are still misshapen. Anybody got any tips? The fotos show Progression from happy seedling to unhappy, slightly older seedling.C3119954-B59A-4EFD-BDD5-94F9D4B56A93.jpeg2C9654D4-BC97-4D59-A671-732DA9F1F406.jpeg53069491-6559-4A6D-A12D-7C43617F7E56.jpeg7C69985C-E1EC-4C21-9535-8553E2ED1F83.jpeg517AF2F9-8E2E-4069-8952-F46EA3223B28.jpeg

Autos aren't sensitive to repotting.

Tips? Let your soil dry out.

Looks mutated. I don't see a new growth tip. Soil is a bit course, hard for good root growth.
Not transplanting autos is Bro-science.
 
Update: looks like it’s some sort of mutation. The plant keeps growing, but leaf shape is all messed up. I don’t think it has anything to do with bad growing conditions. 6BDA8211-982D-469B-AC3C-D729835DA41F.jpeg4FD3A873-52BE-49DC-B174-463BBAD784CD.jpeg

You have your own version of this:

Some would kill it and start over, some would grow it to see if it grows out of it or does more weird shit, etc.

Also, I wouldn't worry so much about transplanting autos. They take to it just fine.

Looks like you gave it way to much p-k in the beg of life. That's what happens when you feed young plants high pk.
