I have this so far.. what do I need now?

Then, I will have to admit that I tried and succeeded to keep the top soil a bit too damp on an almost continuous basis.. yeah, I overwatered. Damn.
Still salvable, though, eh?
So, I should leave them as is for now until the soil dries up pretty good before attempting the actual removal of plants, cleaning of bags and cleaning/replacing of soil? No?

Rescue it!
Dig it out of the soggy soil and give it lightly moist soil (it's more than enough for weed) and don't water it a lot. You can use the old soil again but may want to toss it if gnats have laid eggs in it. It takes two weeks from the egg hatch until the larvae become a fly.
I suggest you buy a cheap moisture meter if you want a tool, it's the best tool for you. I bought one cause I grow without pots with drainage hole and it is great. Such a thing without battery that has a metal probe you can push deep into the pot and an analog meter that will show you how dry it is. It will help you learn how to water and keep the soil dry. Don't worry cause the plant will protect itself against drought and wilt when the soil is too dry, if there is a drop of water in the pot the plant will know it and can save it to later by drooping the leaves. Weed can grow on the steppe and don't need a lot of water. Only reason to clean bags and all now is bugs. Plant new seeds if you want but keep this one in the corner or by the window and learn from it.

I'm for saving ya plants....transplant root ball into fresh medium that is "lightly" moisturized...maybe with a lil mycos....sprinkle DE on top...give it light and leave it til it tells you something...
I typically push a stunt to the side and ignore it mostly....just splash something on it occassionally...

Since last night and w/out anymore water, the stems have actually grown quite a bit.

Should I continue with the transplant or give the current situation a little more time? If the latter, what will be the water protocol and anything else, for that matter?
Thanks..

You are looking at those plants through green colored glasses; they look worse to me. Alas they are still alive. Oh well. Now you need to figure out when to water again and there is no magic bullet to help you with that one. If you water too soon the root problem will advance, if you water too late they might not make it. They are already stressed to the max. Without obvious improvement by tomorrow, I would start over.

The organisms that propagate root rot are omnipresent unless you have a sterile environment and procedures. When they are given the proper environment they multiply and dominate the microbial space. It can be different stuff and they propagate differently. Without a lab you cannot determine which one you have? So the protocol is to treat for all of them. Clean your space well and use new media.

Yeah, I'm gonna start from scratch. I'm waiting on some fresh soil, so I'll be back.
