My indoor plants never bloomed and its been 5 months. Plants are good and green and tall, will they eventually still bloom possibly or should I just give up on them and throw them away? I have a grow light on them for 12 hrs so they're getting plenty of light. Temps like 65 down in basement constantly. pic of grow light to see if anyone has had success with it

This will keep them alive until you can get them outside, however, these lights are simply too weak to get most things to flourish, much less bloom.
Pots are way too small and that light is not even close to adequate. You need several of those lights for all those plants and the light should be just a few inches away from the plant.
These types of “grow lights” are really only good for starting seedlings. They are way too weak for anything else, despite what their descriptions say. You need a real grow light to grow inside.

One of these on Amazon is what you need
Anytime a plant becomes “leggy” having spindly stems, it is starved for light.
It is not very productive or cost effective to grow vegetables indoors.
My best success has been with micro tomato varieties & herbs. Truly it is a modest amount of harvest.
Sunlight is always most beneficial. There is little alternative aside from $$$$ grow lights.
Ideally…
800 PPFD
82F
65-70% RH
If you can’t fix the air temperature or RH, a strong grow light will be your biggest bang.
