They look soggy.
The yellowing is from being too wet.
Your PH is off probably due to the salt build up / oxygen deprivation from over watering.
Let them dry out and then really flush them ( using 1/4 strength nute solution )..get that crap out of there.
If you buy half way decent soil you don't need to ever bother checking PH...I never do anymore.
And the PH of the soil is going to drop eventually..especially late flower. ( Salt build up, flushing of buffering agents...lime, calcium etc )
Perfectly normal.
Also certain minerals, Phosphate, for example is better absorbed by the plant at a lower PH then other minerals.
Last time I ever checked PH ( years ago ) late harvest... low to mid 5s ? Can't remember exactly.
Again unless your doing Hydro...and you buy good soil, there is no need to bother with PH.
Just don't over nute, over water and when watering you should have it pouring out the bottom...not just a few drops.
Example for every gallon you should get like 1/2 quart come out the bottom. This cleans roots, washes away salts, oxygenates the soil and ensures a thorough watering.
But I would suggest letting your girls dry a little out first.

Did you always let them dry out before watering ?
It should almost smack you in the face when you pick it up.
You should be like " How the hell is thing still alive.?..it's so dry "
Pot plants can take it...especially in veg.
Have you checked your roots ? See if roots are coming out the bottom and even cut small holes on the sides of the pot to check. Just use tape to seal.
From the size of your plants and the pots you should have roots everywhere.
If not you may have carroted your roots. Happens to plants overwatered, they will form a root ball shaped like a carrot as the roots have no need to search for water. Which leads to nute problems and problems in general as you feel the plant needs the nutes but it can not use it due to limited roots.
But if you feel you are on a correct watering course...just give them a good flush and see what happens.

Put them in a rubbermaid tub if you can't take them outside, or bath tub. Runoff ph isn't exactly accurate but in general if your liquid got pulled down, then your soil is even lower, your not gonna water anything in to change the soil ph, except hydrated lime and that should be used cautiously. I would do a proper flush with a topdressing of dolomite lime and make some beneficial teas. You could try foliar feeding beforehand just to get some food to those ladies.
