Heavily abused Jack Herer - next steps?

Hey All

I'm a new grower who received an autoflower Jack Herer seed by a friend 4 months ago. Didn't know "jack" about growing so took the cheapest soil I could find and popped in soil hoping for a good grow.. ahum very poor plan. She was placed by the windowsil and stayed more or less healthy the first few months but was very tiny (see first image) Also she went very fast into flower which worsened the situation. At that time I got more interested and invested in a tent with decent led light, air circulation, ... However most harm was already done (very bad soil which has almost no fluid drainage, no nutrients, small pot, no ph'ed tested water, ..) I hoped to turn things a bit around with nutrients + grow light which more or less worked. She started to develop some buds on her tiny branches but I have the feeling that everything is going extremely slow. It has been a month since I put her in the tent and besides some hairs that became brown nothing really happens. I also noticed that she had too much Nitrogen. (claw + dark green sugar leaves) I test my water now but I think because of the poor drainage the soil gets toxic. I immediately flushed her after noticing. (took 4 days until the soil was dry again!) Not really sure which steps I should take next. Let her slowly finish? Or did I f*ck up to bad?

Edit: It should be roughly in week 9 of flower. This still should be normal for Jack Herer so I'll give her another couple of weeks first :)

You’re overwatering or have poor drainage. At this point little water and every bit of light you can throw at it.

Next time air pot or a grow bag and no autos.

Well drainage is extremely poor. However I don't think it's worth it to put her in other soil at this stage?
No not at all. What you are seeing is pretty much what you’re getting. Not knocking but you couldn’t have set it up for failure any better. Transplant at this stage will kill it.
