Would you flower these 4 or start over?

Hello all,

Just opening a dialogue here. . I planted Germ'd seeds on Nov 21st. Had several problems thus far- Overwatered one, then underwater two to compensate. Had too high temps (88F and even in the 90s). And very low humidity (16%, 35% with lights off). I also pluck leaves off to allow the lower leaves to get more light (thought it would stimulate growth). My best plant has signs of Ph fluctuation now, but it may be contained. In short, these plants are small- and they suck, I hate looking at them.

So many mistakes. My question is: If you had the money, time and patience-would you see this grow through to the end? Or kill these plants and start over??
I am going to flower on Dec 31. Would it be wiser to save the electricity and time and just Flower right now? I'll probably leave them until the 31st then switch to Flower. Just seeing if there is any input.

The third picture in this stack of 3 is not my plant but someone else's who planted on the same day as I did and dialed in their grow area much better than I did.

Thanks!

Transplant the damned things into at least 3 gallon containers. You're going to find roots wrapped around in there.

Wait here. Yours are in the big bags? Why? Are they autos? Any plant auto or not has to establish roots. Which is what they're most likely doing.

Why set dates in stone if your aren't 100% proficient in your grow. Flip them when they're ready. Dont worry about dates.
Even if I set dates they're just written in pencil. Things change timeframes are just an idea

A couple reasons-

1) thought it was better to have a plan.
2) Trying to finish before ambient temps rise to where I have to use AC

3) This is a little hard to explain but. I've been in this apartment 13mos. Starting last march, after 5 months of living here, I started getting "apartment inspections"-once to check the fire alarm. Twice to install new faucets. I have never seen that before, but I had my first grow going the whole time. It was additional stress that I didn't need and it caused me to harvest early. Left me with only one plant of three that actually smoked well.

I was trying to finish by mid-march this time, anticipating those apartment entries would occur again by the end of March...my state is legal, but my apartment has 'no growing' in the lease. That situation caused me a lot of stress.

Ahhh I see.
Setting dates is a good practice but I like to set dates loosely and not rely things by a certain date. Less stress etc. Really I should already be flowering for 2+ weeks but im still min a week away from flip. Just the way she goes. Not enough time in a day, and I'm not 20 anymore. I'm a tired cranky bitch sometimes and I don't feel like doing much so I put it off till the next day etc. Growing under 'circumstances' sucks. I get it. Been there and decided to only do small runs once in a while. My hydro was included so the landlord seen and paid the bill. Although I've been legal for many years (acmpr) I didn't want to walk down the path of landlord vs tenant or eviction or whatever so I mainly grew outdoors

Cool. I am not old old, but i also know what it feels like to 'not be 20 anymore.' Stay strong, I'm praying the youth comes back. I'll pray for you too. haha

Best bet for new growers that have difficulty with overwatering fabric pots. You’ll water more often sure, but it’s almost impossible to overdo it because they breathe.
