A couple pics of your roots would be helpful. "As below, so above"
What nutes, what strength, how much wattage, which lights, how far away...?
ASAP Dump your nutes
If possible use a hose and softly spray the roots every ~ 30 minutes for 2-4 hours or flush with 10% fresh nutes for ~ 4 hours.
You will probably lose a good portion of the top 1/3- 1/2, but if you cut them back, you could save enough to be worth while
Calibrate your pH meter, max 500ppm veg nutes for ~ 7 days

No need for any information. You fed too much PK boost. I know nutrients say "Get Massive Buds With This!", but that doesnt mean the more the better. You will actually learn very very quickly, that with nutrients, less is ALWAYS better. Solution? Your yield is hurt thats for sure. The buds could have gotten larger, but will never be as large as they could have been. The best way to recover at the moment is to feed nothing but ph'd 5.6 water with a little touch of calmag. Thats it.\
And don't ever feed nitrogen this late into flowering, like the previous poster suggests. Nitrogen is the most common element to give harsh taste, because of its mobility. Peace.

Ya over fed.. do you have ppm meter and do you monitor on daily basis or even few days to see what the plants are telling you? I mean you cannot just feed and forget, with the different strains and the differences in feeding requirements you cannot just blindly say 25% strength or full strength etc..
Hopefully you can save them, but it will add a few weeks to your harvest. Dump the res and fill with just RO water to flush, hopefully the roots are in decent shape but with that foliage looking crispy the roots have to be brown or rotting at this point from too hot nutrients.

I know it's a gut wrenching puke feeling when you see all those months in jeopardy and time/money. What you can do is do your best to salvage the crop and live and learn, but most of all correct the issue in future grows. I took a year before I started to semi-note take, and track results etc. It made all the difference in the world, as you can systematically track what works and what doesn't or not as well etc. I mean this hobby takes months for results to speak, so learning curve is a bit steep and time consuming. I guess that is why many people start and quit, or just keep producing sub-par crap meds.

I believe too many people start and quit because they spend too much time thinking about the money and don't spend enough time learning the plant. Especially the drug dealers that start growing. Every drug dealer I have seen growing failed somehow. Once you learn the life cycle of the plant, and grow accustomed to it, is when you can "maximize" your harvest. No equipment can replace skill.

this issue happened last days of 7th week ..wasnt using any pk booster that week.. could there be possibly another answer? or is the phd water the only solution?

What were you using for nutes? They are burnt because you used too much.

Man it is advice like this that made my first grow very successful. I've taken to using an Android grow-buddy app to track these sorts of things. When I first started I tracked nothing, just went off of memory as to the previous days' PPM and PH readings. By all means, my first solo produced product wasn't perfect and I made a ton of mistakes, but I can say that my product was as good as anything I had purchased over the course of the previous 6 months. Now on future grows (just started some G-13 Auto Blueberry, G-13 Auto Pineapple Express and Dinafem Fruit) I will try to apply what I learned the first time around and avoid some of the mistakes I made.
If approached correctly, this hobby is HIGHLY satisfying. But if you are in this just to make some money and you don't care to learn about the plants, you are going to be disappointed.

no not trying to make a single penny.....trying to save a bundle and have a MUCH better quality than whats out there you, you know what im talking about immature, unflushed rushed garbage got tired of paying for it... either way the girls who were burnt i ended up pulling them since it seemed they wouldn't have recovered i've cured for half ady and taste is WAY better than i expected but is a complete head high ( i prefer a nice mix of body/head high) but the buds look really nice wuth hps off.. kinda loose but i think it's how strain is(lsd) either way thanks for input

Are you absolutely certain that the light leak from your veg compartment is not leaking into your flowering compartment?

Make sure when you change your water once a week to flush with tap water for half hour or so so clean the system. And then put new water with nutrients.
