No, don't think you've burned it but you're giving it way too much grow nutes... Don't go by the "recommended" dosages as they will often overstate the amounts needed for our grows! You're in flower now an the flowering stage doesn't need a whole helluva lot of nitrogen which is heavy in the grow nutes... I would cut that back at least in half and by week 6 cut them out entirely. Meanwhile, you can be upping your bloom nutes. I'm wondering if you're checking the PH of your runoff? When you WATER, you should be getting about 20% runoff and the PH of it should be between 6.0-6.5. If you're measuring ppm, at this stage that should be about 700. Mid flower, ppm should be about 1000-1100 and final flower, 1100-1150. You'll be fine... just get that extra nitrogen out of the equation! Good luck and thanks for linking your diary! That really helps us help you!

Looks like pH fluctuation problems to me. If you're in soil, pH of 6 is on the low end of the scale. Shoot for 6.5

And btw, I meant to tell you that if your PH is NOT between those two measurements, you've probably got some lockout going on and so should do a flush followed by a gradual resumption of your feeding (first feeding after the flush, cut your grow nutes to 1/4, the rest by 1/2, second feeding I'd cut out the grow nutes and bring the bloom nutes up).
