Nute burn, will she recover? Time to ditch?

Thanks for your insights. I am growing four plants in a 3x3 tent, in ffof soil. Autos, two variety. They sprouted on Jan 2, so they are a little over five weeks old. I gave them their first nutes, about 1/3 dose of the fox farm trio plus a little cal/mag (half dose), two days ago.

Three of the plants seem to be doing very well, though one plant has been problematic from the get go and showed some negative reaction to the fox farm soil (I used a germinating mix in the middle as a starter). I should have known better than to try to give it more nutes, but it’s got some bad burn. It also has some scrawny shoots that are perhaps unlikely to survive the burn.

Also, this one seems a weird phonome and has not shown many signs of sex, while the other three are clearly into early budding. I grew the same seed in my last grow and it was a champ, taking all nutes and beginner abuse well. Not this one though.

Should I ditch this plant? Is there a chance of bounce back? I fear it will turn hermie (no signs I can see yet). I wouldn’t mind clearing some space in there as a heater is arriving next week. On the other hand, I don’t want to ditch a plant that will bounce back. Here is a pic of the burned plant and the other three. Any advice appreciated. This is my second indoor grow, at least in modern times and with real equipment.
