Looking for reassurance or assistance

[danks.for.asking]

I have multiple inquiries today. I have 3 alaskan purple auto plants all in the front of the attached image. The rest are photoperiod plants; two cheeses in the back left, and one Wifi Peyote in the back right.
My first inquiries is about the rate of growth of my autos.(I included close-ups of the biggest one) first off, they vegged for about 2 months, probably because I had some low temp problems, causing them to grow slowly. Now that I'm getting close to the 2nd week of flower, I'm not seeing as many pistils and calyx as I am used to seeing at this point. I usually see white, hairy tops with pistils protruding from the sugar leaves. Is this normal, or am i still having slow growth issues?
Now my photo periods have been growing just as long ad my autos, and will continue to do so until my autos are harvested, and as you can see, growth is getting out of hand and I'm running short on room in my 4x4. Im wondering if i should trash a couple of the photos since they will only grow larger. Im afraid of running into humidity issues with everything packed so close together, and having saturated pots everyday(growing in coco, so i feed everyday). Good ganja, I don't know what to do!

Get a ScrOG going here don’t trash anything. Do a heavy defoliation and good bends for the ScrOG. Definitely go with 2 maybe 3 layers of trellis netting

I totally want to do that, but I have to remove each girl out of the tent to feed them, since I don't have a way to remove my run off right now, but i think i could work something out once these autos are finished.

I guess i will have a lot more room once I harvest the 3 autos

Get a good flood tray and then go with a ScrOG. You won’t have to take them out and take care of those girls one by one. You can give them all the attention all at onec, together.

I’m a little late here but explain the flood tray thing to me please. I have a similar set up and was thinking I’d have to move them one by one to feed. Simpler way PLEASE hit me

When you water your plants the flood tray catches the water when it runs through... Sometimes I run it through again...

Again excuse my ignorance but how is this going to prevent me from having to move the girls and feed them individually??

I'm confused about what your not understanding. Here's what I'm doing right now: I have a huge tupperware tote with an upsidedown colander in it. I just take a plant out of the tent, set it on the colander, water them, and it runs off into the Tupperware bin. The flood tray just goes in your tent so you don't have to move the girls from the tent to feed. It catches the run off.

No, the tray is just to catch the run off from watering. It only helps the watering process by not having to move them out of the tent to water.

My bad... I kinda use mine like autopots... I'll let the water sit until it is pulled up into the plants... I feed my plants 3-5 times a day so they grow pretty fast and when the roots come through it's all good since the roots can get to the water...
