That’ll do it, just not very long, maybe push it through the fabric pot near the bottom. Don’t get hung up too much about when they flower etc, autos can do a 100 days from seed, especially if they’ve had some ups and downs. What they say on seed packets about flowering times is mostly pish. :D

Thank you,i'll

Depends how much run off you have, I wouldn’t want them sat in it for hours, especially if the root zone is cold. I usually water/feed to 10-20% runoff and leave it, the plants just suck it back up. 
Just a thought, what size pots are you using? I read on here somewhere, that 11l pots are optimum for autos, if they’re a bit bigger that could be why they seem slow to flower. I’d recommend doing some photoperiods next run, much more control over flowering and cheaper on the leccy. There’s some great seeds on the site store :yep:

What light are using? A decent full spectrum is great for growing pretty much anything :D I don't use ec and all that since I gave up hydro, I just increase the feed as they look hungry. Get your light on temps at 28degs and lights off 24 as other have posted and they'll grow like fuck, when I keep mine like that, my heat mat hardly comes on. Warm your water up a bit too, most peeps just add a drop of hot water in the can, stops the water/feed bringing root temps down ;) Using 25l pots depending what compost/soil mix you're using, you may have enough nutrients to last the plant at least half of its life before you even need to think about feeding, autos are very easy to overfeed ime.

Good luck they don't look too bad :yep:

1.2mx1.2mx2m they say it for 1.2m-1.5m

What do you have your dimmer set on? I’ve been using an app on my phone for light intensity called Photone after some recommendations on here, not sure how accurate it is, but might help :yep:

You can bleach your plants with too much light, using LED. I use 240w over half your space and I’ve managed it :D

Plus one vote on the cold for me.

 

A single thermometer doesn't always paint the perfect picture. Maybe the low area of those big pots is much colder than assumed?

 

If the roots get cold enough for a long enough period they kinda just slow down or in worse cases shut down completely.

 

Growing with hydro if anything taught me a few things about temps, including that the root zone can be much colder than the canopy even with good lighting and solid 27C temps at canopy.

 

Always hard to tell from a pic and a few words but if I saw that on my plants at that stage in those pots I'd first ask myself if I've oversaturated the soil and in turn got the roots stone cold over night for a few days.
