They honestly don't look that bad in your last pics. I would just let them grow and work on learning good watering practices. I think a transplant would do more harm than good. It looks like you have a decent amount of perlite in the soil, is there that much all through it? Overwatering doesn't necessarily mean only the amount, watering small amounts too often can also lead to the same root zone symptoms as watering too much. You need to saturate the pot until runoff happens and then not touch it again until it is almost completely dry, all the way through. If you can't figure out when that is, there is the option of letting them go till they droop from being over dry, then you know the approximate time between watering, I have done this myself when I was unsure of the weight of the pot technique, as long as you catch it and don't let them wilt for long, it shouldn't cause too much stress on them. Some of the experts/moderators may say don't do that, if they say that, listen to them lol, I'm no expert. Having more than one plant a d of different strains in the same pot was definitely a bad idea because different strains and even different plants of the same strain can vmhave different needs. I still say you shouldn't transplant though, the roots are intermingled and tearing them apart now would be major stress... it's always best to avoid transplanting during flower too... even my annuals, I buy the ones in back that no one wants because they aren't in bloom yet, but they produce healthier and more prolifically than they would have had I chosen the ones already in bloom... at least in my experience.
The amount of perlite is the same everywhere in that soil.

The visible amount of perlite does exist through the whole soil. Maybe that has been the lifesaver for my plants!
I'm a bit less than halfay absorbing Aquaman's watering-bible. Perched water table... I had to read the first text few times till I began to get the picture.
My very first thought - since english synonymes are familiar to me only partly - was that he was talking about some furniture, watering desk type of thing.
You put my unclear vision in words with that describing of overwatering in your reply. Thats indeed what I feel has happened; they are overwatered, even though the amounts of water have been small & not given rly often either. Because, overwatering can be basically seen as synonym for lack of oxygen in roots, caused by water filling those air pockets the roots would otherwise take oxygen from?
And water has filled those airpockets because the amount of water given werent in line with the perched water table of that pot's medium. Right?
When I came home today, I immediatly noticed gorgeous odour, it's getting obviously stronger! I went to check the tent after reading your reply and felt nice relief, thinking you are correct with that advice to let them grow and water next only when theres no question about the need for it.
Because look what has happened there! They cannot be struggling really seriously since there was - in my scale - impressive new growth comparing yesterday!
This has multiple smaller flowers suddenly gotten hairy and much bigger!
... there seen a bit closer
And this main bud has new pistils, those pointing to the roof, below the top-ones.
I need to hold my hand to give shadow gor the camera, otherwise takes blurry shots.
She's on wind, without the fan those small leaves and growth is pointing mainly upwards.
And this one! Got new bushy look and more pistils.
All this small, bushy growth from main stem is a new thing! Tho surely it's been there earlier as earlier staged but I spotted it today.
I just need to tell myself to put my shit together if I'm getting nervous again about the potential defencies and feeling like I should do something to try to fix it asap.
They'll be fine after some days after being fed (though ofc only if fed correctly) and will likely recover from defencies, but if they arent allowed to put their underground-things in better order (to dry & take oxygen) and are watered too early now, it might cause issues too bad to even recover ?
Since there ain't emergency-state symptoms seen?
It's more complicated actually, but that's where my reasoning reaches so far ?
Btw, I took a look on your growings and felt speechless, you live in a total opposite type of climate comparing me, theres even no grass in here at summer and night-temperatures go below zero celcius first time during August. Sun can be seen only during next 11 days, then it'll be gone till January.
The silver lining is that theres not much risk for bugs or mold in my tent and if temperatures seem to be going too high someday, I can simply just open the window and watch them turn blueish & frosty during next minute
