im about 35 days into flowering here. MG soil(10-5-5 I think). It started looking like burn so I stopped giving it nutes(pure blend pro bloom+karma) and started giving it just water. I thought I would PH the water and it was around 7-7.5ish so i lowered it to about 6-6.5

I'm thinking its jsut from the MG giving it too much nitrogen for flowering. I've herd it might be from chlorine in the water(city water).

First mistake,using a soil that's packed with nutes,and then adding more of your own on top? Recipe for soil toxification!! KEEP SMOKE ALIVE!!

Quick fix,luke warm water and flood your pot,then let dry out and don't use no nutes, just water regularly. KEE SMOKE ALIVE!!

Sorry for bringing this old thread on top but if you have such a situation (overfertilization with a soil that already contains dry nutes)...
and you flush with 'plenty of water', the most possible is that it will WORSEN YOUR PROBLEMS (all the unused nutes inside the soil will melt and the plant will burn).

If you have such a nute burn in early flowering i would propose this steps:
-Remove the pot
-Put the the soil&roots inside a bucket with clean water and let it stand for some minutes
-then gently seperate as much soil as you can, without removing the soil from the bucket and WITHOUT causing damage to the root system
-Refill your pot with NEW soil and at the same time share equaly the roots inside their new healthy environment
