I transplanted 3 plants info 15lt coco/pl mix in autopots but this 1 plant has wilted and started to turn yellowish in 12 hours after the transplant. Day 26 WW Auto, What could be wrong?

Pot up in smaller pots next time - 15litres is a lot of coco :-)
But 15 ltr is only 3 gallon that should be perfect for a auto.

Did you thoroughly wash the coco or get prewashed/buffered?

"There is no time for transplants and certainly no time for stress if you desire the max yield from your autos. The best advice is to sow seedlings directly into final containers. Alternatively, germinate auto seeds first using the paper towel method or whatever your preferred method. Then put them straight into large pots. A healthyroot zone must be cultivated early."

Idk, that will hold a ton of roots, how bigs your light? Be expecting lots of oz from 15litre of soil let alone coco.

Somewhere the maths of the situatiin are off thats all - you tell me which :-)
 
Plant autos in the final container. Do not transplant.
I am not disagreeing in anyway! I would like to have friendly conversation to possibly pick your brain and add to mine.... with photos you typically start in small containers and move up ( if only once) the thought being roots have a hard time getting established in too large a container... hence start small let them grow/mature and transplant at that peak of growth before becoming root bound to let the roots explode! I have no experience so these are just thoughts but since the roots are objectively the most important part of growth what might outweigh the other start with the roots and cater to them first make it easy to get established transfer at the correct time while reducing shock (waiting to long, making the hole the right size for the right fit, using the same medium...ect).....

Or start them in there final home let the root struggle for a bit then watch it go?

(I can tend to overthink and look at every perspective but it's an awesome way to learn!)

Be prepared to veg. Roots have to find boundaries before any real growth takes place. The slow start is the part you see supporting root growth. Then once roots find limits you start to get good growth. Why it's good using fluorescent the first couple of weeks.

I used a 4x24 watt T5 grow light for the first 2 weeks

Yeah autos are way different due to the ruderalis. I use graduated transplanting with photos. I learned the hard way with my first crop of autos. The guy who gave me seeds gave me some more and some advice. He breeds for Baked Beans Cannabis Seeds.

I transplant my autos with zero stress and i find i have less control and more problems with a small plant in a big pot of coco.

God knows why every one is all make sure that small auto is in a massive final pot because of transplant stress - we get zero stress from our transplants just carefull pop the pot of and place rootball in new predug hole then gently cover and water because it was time to water.

If you cant veg a photo to a decent size in 4 - 6 weeks then dont bother with autos or expect a steeper learning curve.

I learnt the EASY way :-)

Small hit of magnesium (epsom salts in gallon of water). Yellowing shock, nitrogen depletion, perhaps? If you have access to willow....cut a few branches in water...great inexpensive natural tonic for plants. Good luck!
