You may need some Nitrogen, and if you can you may want to get some dolomite or perlite to help with moisture and help the PH.
They look okay, except you might just need a bit of fish, If you don't want to use nuets. just put a bit of some cut up trout or sucker in the soil, they will green up and grow like mad.
If they are outside that will work for you, but if you're in the house the fish may smell a bit until it decomposes.
Alaskan Fish Emulsion. I use that, it works great

those are very small... the soil should have had what it needed to not require any nutes for plants that small

they do look hungry but with them being small make sure to feed them very very lightly

if you tell me the npk numbers on your fertilizer I can tell you how much would be safe

I also believe theyre asking for magnesium... id spray them 1x with 1/4 tsp Epsom salt per gallon and the next time you water add 1/4 tsp per gallon Epsom salt to the water

i suspect the leaf cupping/taco will improve after you spray them

I have two NPK 5-4-6 and a 6-5-7 both with Mn and Zn
are they liquid or dry powder?

those are very close to the same so you could use either

a full dose would be about 7mls (if its liquid) per gallon so I wouldn't give them more than half dose at 3.5 mls per gallon

if they are powder same deal only a full dose would be 7 grams so don't give it more than a half dose which is 3.5 grams per gallon

I understand the direction likely suggest more... don't do it

and for now, I wouldn't fertilize them but maybe every third watering

tell me also

what are the calcium and magnesium % amounts for the two fertilizers you have

So they are liquid. I used the 6-5-7. There Is no magnesium or calcium in both od them. I used 3.5ml in a gallon Yesterday and it seems that the yellowish has reduced. I even noticed pistils today, i don't know if it Is a good think, i think really not, tell me if i'm right, photo below. I would not like a premature flowering and death of the plant.
Sorry for the poor english

since there no calcium or magnesium in your fert youll want to figure out how to get some

does the fertilizer have iron zinc manganese boron and copper?

do you have a calmag product available to you?

you bets option might be to switch to another fertilizer that's more complete that has all the essential elements

Yes, they have. However i used a little bit of coffe ground for Magnesium. Where i live no calmag products are sold however i found something like that probably, i will see. I will let you know
Epsom salt works great for magnesium

1/4 tsp per gallon every other watering unless it asks for more

looks like its wanting to start flower

how old is it?

has it been small forever?

I have zero experience with autos, I don't grow them

go see what you can find that's water soluble for fertilizer
don't buy anything just,
take pics of the label that states what its derived from and what the % amounts are for each element

post the pics of the % amounts in an orderly fashion dubbing each with whatever name you want to keep track

if its water soluble I can help you figure out how to balance your fertilizer

if your intending to go organic that's a whole entirely different thing.... as of right now your sounding like your trying to do both

id either go organic or go with soluble fertilizers
one or the other trying to incorporate both will only complicate things

if your going to use a fertilizer make sure its water soluble... NO TIME RELEASE FERTILIZERS!

Im not sure id attempt an auto plant using organics unless you've really got it dialed it proper first

an auto plant does what is does and theres no stopping her... things need to be spot on to give her every bit of time to get full

maybe youd be better off getting some seeds that aren't autos until you can dial it in to perfection

a regular photoperiod plant will allow more flexibility to veg longer if you need it in order to overcome issues
 
So these are the concentration of minerals. Next year i will be a lot more conscious of what to do and not. I will use a proper soil, pot, nutes and a feminized photoperiod. I don't want to give up on that one i'm growing even if It seems Is dying because It's not growing anymore. I will go on somehow

the micros in the nute are barely worth mentioning its so little

its not a complete fertilizer...meaning it lacks much of whats required

so youll need to find another option or something that can be used in conjuction with that
