They are currently recovering from overwatering, but it seems like the yellowing isn't getting any better especially on the SOG, I am worried about flower production at this point. I just want my babies to be healthy, any help would be appreciated.

That last pic has a few leaves that are identical to a magnesium deficiency...the yellowing between the veins, starting from the outwards edge and working it's way in. It's not uncommon to get calmag issues at this stage as the plant is consuming it in higher quantities, but it usually isn't as prevalent in soil. Do you know if your ph is on point?

Not being a soil grower myself, I'm certainly no authority on soil PH and such, but I don't think that ph is the source of your problem.

(From Growweedeasy.com)
My first impression is that of a magnesium deficiency...do you have some epsom salts? If you're careful not to get any of the solution on your buds, you can foliar feed it for the next 1-2 weeks by spraying the underside of your plant's leaves. You can also directly water it into your soil. Or if you already have some calmag on hand, that'd be preferrable. That's where I would start if it were my plants, and if the problem is still progressing about 1 week after application to soil or 3-5 days after you've begun foliar feeds, then it is something else. In any event, it's not going to hurt your plant to get some extra mag if it isn't the problem. The damaged leaves likely won't recover once the problem is solved, you just have to look to see if the symptoms have stopped spreading to different leaves. If they aren't, then the issue is solved.
 
Thank you for the insight, I began to spray them with a .2% Epson salt solution yesterday. I was unaware that I was supposed to spray underneath the foliage. Hopefully, I didn't hurt the buds. Should I go ahead and spray them underneath?
