Can anyone help me out with my plant issue. I don't know if it's light burn or nutrient burn. Maybe I have locked up the roots by over watering

Looks like ph lockout to me. Def not light burn if there is even such a thing. I’ve seen bleaching from blurples too close but never actually burn...a singe-ing of the leaves maybe but your plants look like classic nute burn. It is also possible that too much nutrient has not only burned them but also caused ph imbalance; nutes w/high value NPK numbers can do that. Over-watering usually causes some issues but should not throw off the soil ph unless you are growing in a sterile medium without buffers like coco and are not ph-ing the water or nute solution correctly. The easiest fix might just be transplant into a bigger container. Then just plain old water for a few weeks...
To narrow it down its helpful to know:
What kind of medium?
what are you feeding and how much?

I use mixed Foxx farm ocean with fox farm happy frog. The nutrients I use are the fox farm big bloom now that it's in flowering...I also thought it might be a lockout also. So I figured to give them straight water until harvest..... also I think a bigger pot might do the trick also. Thanks for the info. I'm gonna try it and see if that helps any.

Im betting if you just put them in a bigger pot with some fresh HF and/or OF & maybe even add some extra perlite if you tend to water them kinda heavy...that in and of itself should help get them back to green again. Water only until harvest might be overkill; you can probably start giving nutes again at 1/2 strength in a few weeks. Adding some worm castings to your mix will also help to prolong viability and microbial activity which will keep ph in range. If you don’t use granular mycorrhizae that’s something to look into; promotes absorption related to ph and generally keeps roots healthy. Just sprinkle it into the hole at each transplant and place root ball directly on it.
