TangieMatic and Creme Brulee autoflowers

The name makes it sound good - had to look it up - actually I have had it, the restaurant just gave it a different name -

Crème brûlée -

"(/ˌkrɛm bruːˈleɪ/; French pronunciation: ​[kʁɛm bʁy.le]), also known as burnt cream or Trinity cream,[1] is a dessert consisting of a rich custard base topped with a texturally contrasting layer of hardened caramelized sugar. It is normally served at slightly chilled; the heat from the caramelizing process tends to warm the custard producing a cool center. The custard base is traditionally flavored with vanilla, but can have a variety of other flavorings."

Are you allowing the soil to slightly dry out between mistings?
And yes, at this point, personally, I would up the water, and then give a 'dry spell'.
I'm talking a good soaking, then I let it dry till the first inch or so of dirt is asking for water.
But this all depends Depending on YOUR fertilizing plan.

Salt or organic based fertilizer?
Salt based like their environment a little damper, organic based can dry out a bit more.
Same with the soil composition, or lack there of.
Coco, peat, hempy... all require a bit of water, regularly and frequently. Peat less than the others.
A rich organic soil, again, can survive water fluctuations and crops like cannabis and tomatoes prosper under a wet/dry cycle. (In my opinion)
If you wish to give her a feeding, try an extremely light dose of salt based or a healthy top dressing of worm castings (poop). Take note of the progress after, experiments do best when you can mentally or physically document.

Do you check the PH of the water in/runoff? May be a factor in the yellowing. This could be done cheaply with litmus paper, not very precise. Another option is getting a PH testing device. They are incredibly accurate if devices are properly calibrated.

You should be able to start the nutrient schedule for your nutrients now, they look old enough. Very tightly packed nodes too!

Typically, tighly packed nodes indicate that you will have one of two things;
A smaller, bushier plant or...
Seriously dense buds.
Of course, this is a blanket statement and won't be correct all the time.

Yes it should be larger, I wouldn't worry about watering to run off, that will just leach nutrients out of the soil. I have been watering by weight, lifting the pot it becomes obvious when it has no water weight.

It could be so many things stunting growth. Temperature, too much water in the roots, not enough water in the roots, genetics. You said they are autoflowers right? Autoflowers tend to get a lot easier stressed than photoperiods, so it could be a combination of all the things.
