alright, just my opinion is 3 inches for 20 days is short.. t5 prolly isnt good enough for a autoflower because many people use them for clones or vegging. i would use a hps if you got one. ive never did autoflower though so i wouldnt really know.

Try raising the lights a little higher cause they tend to stretch a bit more.. Are the plants healthy?

don't raise your light to make them taller it will just space your nodes out and that is exactly what you don't want to happen you need to keep the light as close as possible to keep the node spacing tight. they could be short because of the big pots you should start in small pots and transplant into bigger pots.
