These girls have already overcome several missteps on my part, avoiding death at least twice. They started from seedlings on Feb 12th; both auto-flowers.
They were topped once early on, but in consideration of the poor start I gave them, I did not attempt further cuts. Now they look strangely asymmetrical and short, not like most of the plants posted here. Both are Indica dominant - BlackBerry Kush and Bubbagum.
My concern is primarily from reading that the plants should be further along by now, and should begin flowering soon. Should I do anything else, or just keep 'em alive and wait??
Info on the environment:
The girls:
BlackBerry Kush.
Bubbagum. I'm nearly certain the malformed/twisted leaves are the result of past errors and are no longer mutating. This one got hit the hardest by my newbie errors.
Thank you for any suggestions.

Info on the environment:
- 4' wide, 2' deep, 5.5' high tent.
- DWC (no top drip)
- Delicious Alaskan tap water (really, it comes out of the faucet at 6.5pH and tastes great!)
- Phlizon 900W LED, at least 24" above plants
- Active Aqua 15L 4 port air pump - 2x stones per bucket
- Growth Science Nutrients Base + Solid Start
- pH tested daily with color drop kit
- AC Infinity fan controller w/ humidity and temp + charcoal filter
- One tent flap is about 1/2 open for air intake
- Water level approx 1" below bottom of pots.
- Roots slightly tan, smell like roots. No slime.
- Reservoir water temp 70-75F. I swap out frozen water bottles to keep it below 75.
- There is an ultrasonic humidifier running full time, as well as a small fan to keep air circulating. The fan is NOT blowing directly on the plants.
- I never spray the plants with anything.
- Tent temp = 75F
- Target humidity = 50-60%
