Yes it will. Let is sit at least for 24 hours!!! Then water to get 10-20%runoff. I prefer more, it helps to Fight against salt built up.

But bro. When I look on the pics I would say: first impression is that they are underwatered. You do not know where the roots exactly are, so you should water the whole pot since they are no longer sedlings to get 10% runoff for the mesurements (EC and pH) and another 10% for dissolving the salts and let them go away (maybe you will need more runoff when your EC will be way to high) and than let it dry like you have on the pics and than water again or feed... And another thing is your fertilizer. I am not familiar but at first I cannot find the NPK ratio and maybe they are for bio grow but not sure about that. You need to get grow fertilizers cannabis friendly to this phase of your grow. Because your indies needs more nuts than satives or autos and I would also say that you are a litlle bit low on N nut, or maybe it seems to me because of the light. BTW which light you use? What is your temp next to the canopy?

I have a 400 watt hsp and temp is usally 22 degrees near canopy and grow tent is usually 24- 25 degrees with light on and 18-19 degrees with light out

This is the answer to your problem. Get this brown sh*t out your pot by heavy flush until you will see the clear water running out of your pot and than use terra fertilizer for GROW best ratio 4-3-3. Thats what I would do...

Terra firma fert ?

No terra firma fert but not organic fert. I think the source of your problem is the fight between your soil (some non-organic ferts includin) and your bio fert. You can use bio fert in non bio soil, but only in case that is very poor soil. Your plants will handle it, but they can go much better.
When I was younger and new to grow I have been using normal soil (was cheaper) and organic ferts (saw a Bio title on the bottle and thought it will be great) and two times I have ended up with Hermies. Maybe it was not caused by this, but I still do not know which other thing could this happened, but when I changed to completely non bio I have never had problems like this. Bio grow is great thing, but it takes long time to everthing works great inside, so you need to spend more time in grow phase. Than the plants are bigger and you need more space, it takes more time and everthing connected.
And back to your runoff... it is weird to me have a clear runoff, from my experience the colour of the runoff depends on the amount of EC inside (said very simply way). My runoff becomes clear somewhere around EC 1,2 and I do not use bio ferts. When I ran bio my runoff was almost brown of the colour.
When your runoff goes clear than it probably wont be the problem... Try to measure its EC and pH than you will have more clues what is happening inside right now.
