Can you move them outside?

I think you can still salvage those. I feel like it would be more of a waste to start over however turning that grow into a success would be some work. Pots look like 5 gallon.... One thing you can do is prune them by 1/2 repot them into 10 gallon pots make sure you get some good quality amended soil so the basic nutritional needs are covered. Let them adjust a bit to the new pots keep them in veg for 2 1/2 weeks during that time keep your veg feeding schedule tie them down at the end of the 2 1/2 weeks. To control canopy and height. Switch to 12/12 keep lowering veg feeding gradually for the next 2-3 weeks and start bloom feeding. For mildew you can use something like the natria neem oil the one that is already diluted. Maybe someone else might have a better suggestion for the mildew. This is How I would go about it not optimal but it should work and it will delay you for only couple weeks, since the plants will still be big even if you prune them, overall it would take you more time if you started over.

Like the dude said chop them and chuck them since ur not in flower.
Other option is whack 1/3 to half the plant hit them with eagle 20, wash them down with water, then burn sulfur before you flip to 12/12. Which would be like tomorrow. Put up a trellis. Even then it isn’t guaranteed you can get the PM under control. For every gallon of water you are hitting the plants with you need to pull out almost a gallon of water from the air. With those low ceiling I assume ur in a basement? If that is the case you should also run a dehue outside of the room. Hydrostatic pressure is filling your basement with water without the plants even being in there.

The problem is I believe I already flipped them into flower because I adjusted the timer sunday night and they've been getting their 12 hours of darkness since then. Is it too late to do all this?

The pots are 25 gallon and I already flipped them to 12/12 on sunday, the night before I started the thread. Everyone is telling me do things before flipping them but now I feel it is too late. And I definitely agree with trying to salvage them before scrapping them. I've already invested too much in nutrients and utilities. But if there's absolutely no way then its a learning lesson I guess...

Cut them in half as if you were topping them and treat the PM with a sulfur burner. The burner was the only thing that worked for me. The fact that you just switched you can still top them. You will have wasted all that growth time but you'll end up with double the tops by the end of it.

No, yes?

Remove the hoods from the lights. Hang the lights vertically in areas that will not interfere with growth. You can treat pm with a baking soda and water mixture but you have to be diligent. Another option for pm is green cleaner at your local grow store. Yes, it is expensive but it works. It will also kill any spider mites. You can spray it up to the day of harvest. Only spray with lights out. I believe the main ingredient that kills mites in green cleaner is alcohol.

Get all those electrical wires organized up high. Man, you got a fire hazard waiting to happen.

If that's the case then here is another option.... One thing you can do is tie them down spread the side branches out as much as possible to gain height away from the lamp. You will have difficulties with the main branch... After you have evened out everything you can snip the tips off accordingly.... I am mentioning tying them down before because you will be able to better gauge where to cut if you just cut you might end up cutting more than what you need to. Its not optimal but better than scrapping them
