I water when they need it usually like every 3 days. I am gonna move them to the bigger pots (the rest) 2morrow nite. I am gonna borrow my friends digital ppm meter to see where I stand with the nutes I mix up normally 2mor nite as well.

I measured my nutes and it was 728, and ph was 6.0, so Not too much nutes I guess and ph looks ok.......
Prolly just the pot size I guess.

Seriously, glasspipes is on smack. All wrong.
As stated earlier, you've over fed the plants.
Based on the understanding that you're more than 50 days into flowering.
My suggestion is to flush through a gallon of water per gallon of soil and then use just water for the next week as required. When the plant is about 5 to 7 days out from harvest flush it again, but with 3 gallons of water per gallon of soil this time. That should finish it up. Your leaves are going to continue to yellow off, but more naturally, after the second flush.
You probably could have done worse, don't trip too bad on the burning. Still though, a learning lesson. Too much Cal-Mag can be quite an issue.

Happens to the best of us. Life goes onBetter luck next time.
I have learned plenty trust me. I was using a real shot glass to measure, but I bought a real measuring device now. The next plants will be grown great I think.
This is my 1st grow, and I didnt research and read enough b4 I jumped into it. Being impulsive is not a good idea for sure!
I dl'd 40 books on the subject I plan or reading.

I was doing something similar to my plants, running 5ml extra than I'd though. I had one of those measuring glasses and 10ml is more like 18ml... burned up some plants doing that. Now I'm using actual measuring spoons with better results. I'd kill for a proper titration device, but all in due time. Gotta love the learning curve.
Sounds like you have a good head on your shoulders. I've experienced a lot of your growing pains myself and can relate completely. If you ever need someone to bounce an idea off of feel free to send a PM this way.

Are you saying that the measuring glass isn't accurate? I could use a child medicine spoon tube thing, my kid has for cough syrup, that must be accurate, and just needs more fills with it. It only holds 10ml.

just take it easy on them no need to try to force it..once you start to see burnt tips back off and less your dosage...will be easy breezy..

I have been running some plain water through them at feeding time, and will go back to nutes 2mor.

Yeah, my measuring glass is not accurate. I use Tablespoons and teaspoons now, takes a little more finesse with all the measuring for a 15 gallon reservoir but it is accurate and that's all I'm hoping for.
What I've been doing recently is measuring out the right amount of nutrients for the reservoir by the Tbsp. but putting it in the measuring glass. I can then use the levels on the glass to know where to measure to to get the right amount of solution.
Usually it's off by about 5ml or so. Like 15ml from a Tbsp. fills it up to what would be the 10ml line. Another Tablespoon takes it to just under 25 when there is really 30ml. If I needed 8ml per gallon for a 15 gallon rez I'd need to measure about 115ml in the measuring glass rather than 120ml.
My problem was I was mixing a lot of nutrient 1 gallon at a time. When doing 15 gallons, the extra .33ml per gallon that the measurement is off is no big deal really. But when doing 1 gallon the difference was nearly 50% more nutrients than I thought I was using. Messed things up real nice for me.

yeah I bet that is my problem as well, cheap stuff from china is the reason.

I noticed my plants are (some of them) falling over. I wonder if it is loose soil or stem rot?
