- are you special?
it is easy to overwater a plant,even easier to overwater a seedling.overwater a seedling once and it could take a week till its next ready for a water.
i have a spare pot with dry soil sitting in the corner.i lift it up each day to remeind me what a light pot feels like,i then lift my up pots with plants in them and gauge if they need water or not.
this time of year temps can be an issue.light could also be a lil high as seedlings are a lil leggy.
my first week feed no more than 250ml week 2 no more than 500ml my fully grown plants in 6L pots cant take much more than 1.5L without runoff.
its not the end for your seedlings,yes they a lil stunted but will still give buds.
im no expert just have a lil experience.
good luck,and keep us informed.

Sounds like you got it covered with the overwatering!! Are you using a dual spectrum HPS? has a little more blue light for veg growth. (I don't personally get problem using a 2700k light from seed) Your space does look rather large, if its cold the temps will drop quickly with lights out which can have a big impact on growth. Optimum temps are 24 - 28c.
Good luck

Can I also ask what nutrients you are feeding them @jaynewbie10102 , I just realised you said your feeding with a root feed 500ml water each.
Coco has zero nutrients in it and you need to feed with a diluted veg feed from day one. Just throwing ideas out there!

7 m/l is full strength, autoflowers can be a little sensitive to nutrients and most people would agree to start them off on a light feed, like 1/8 - 1/4 strength to start for a week then increase slowly up to 1/2 the rated dose and go from there really. Out of interest have you been using that Ionic coco grow from day1? Also it suggest adjusting the nutrient solution PH from 5.5 - 6.2. (this is why I prefer soil acts as a buffer, a little more forgiving). You will learn a lot here if you read through the coco section! And be careful that there is nothing flammable to closed to your light.
