you did use the black and gold sided "paper" on the bottom of the autopilots?

yep, gold side down.

the water in res is clear. water in tray for the last week has been brown. i think maybe root control disk is issue...what do i do now, they are at the bottom...sigh. i top watered a little while ago, and will let them dry out before i try anything i guess.

the water in tray can be darker than water in res. The water picks up discoloration from your soil. that is natural. The second pic of your post looks like it is wet and not bone dry. When you lift up the pot did it seem heavy and wet?

ok that is good. perhaps they need some nutrients, as I recall you are only using plain water.

ever since I put in the cob light my tent temp is hovering around 73 when before it was 79. could ladies be "cold?"

no not cold. Tho is the auto pot on concrete floor? It is good to but a little piece of styrofoam under each pot to keep temps higher than the concrete floor temp

i pulled the tent upstairs after the cellar flood incident (yikes) and it is now in my diningroom. my house temp is 69.

If they were very light then they are not "wicking" this is not error of auto pot but perhaps the soil you are using. Pop22 will need to answer from here. You did not do any thing wrong. Growing is like raising kids. some shit always seems to just happen, then we deal with it

I undid the autopot tubes and hand watered each lady with 1liter of water and a little micro bloom. I will wait again a few days or such until pots are light again and give autopots another try. I just cant figure out what happened...
