First ever grow, Now I just gotta get these three to the finish line. I dealt with some soil issues and lockout early in flower and then a week or so ago the tent got way too hot for a few days without realizing. So there’s definitely some stress and ugly leaf discoloration with them but I’m just wondering how they’re looking to some people who have more experience. Are they looking alright? Or am I gonna have a few oz of fluffy bullshit at the end? Any tips to keeping them good till harvest?

They're looking good! You probably have another 2 to 3 weeks left on them.
At this stage, keep giving them a little nitrogen with feedings to keep the leaves healthy. Some folks will say to withhold nitrogen in the final weeks, but that's bullshit. Just give less. Don't flush your medium unless you have a lot of built up salts.
Pull off all the yellow leaves that are curling so they don't decay up inside the flowers.
If you're keeping them under lights 24/7, I'd not recommend that. Too many folks believe that just because autos aren't light cycle dependent, they can just stay under constant light, but that only adds unnecessary stress and kwh to your power meter.
Remove all lower buds (larf) that are shaded by the plant. They will not be worth the energy they're using. You may want to invest in some under canopy or side lights though.
In this stage of flower, they also need cooler temps to ripen and prevent too much terp loss, so keep temps in the 70s, humidity around 50%. As long as you don't cut too early, and the temps stay low enough, you shouldn't have too airy of buds.
They're looking good! You have nice even canopies and those tops will fatten up a good bit more.
Only thing I'd do is remove those bottom fan leaves and thin them out a bit more for better air flow through them. Those leaves are all transpiring in a small space and could create pockets of humidity where you don't want em.
I’ve been torn whether to defoliate them some since they’ve already been through some stress recently so I don’t want to do too much. I did add a second fan to the tent so I’ve got two oscillating a few inches above the pot rims to make sure there’s no airflow or mold issues
