sorry bout the deception bros. heres my details
temp 28-29C at cannopy height
21C root zone
17-18 dark cycle
Ph 6.0 at root zone
growing in coco with canna a/b under 2 600w hps in a dual cool tube.
unknown strain She is about 6 ft tall with flowers everywhere. just the top ones are doing this.
there is about 40 colas forming on this girl, the result of massive pruning when she took off afer going 12/12
I just raised the EC from 1.4 to 2.4 cause I thought she was lacking but that was yesterday so maybe not enough time to kick in?
I have just now noticed some inward curl espescially on the saw like edge of some bigger leaves. I need your advice badly bros

you say the canopy is 29 c that looks allot like heat stress are you sure the tops don't get hotter than that

I promise its not hot. I use a can fan that sucks the heat straight away. I han touch the glass of the cool tube with my bare hand. I just removed a massive myalar(?) reflector cause i thought the light intensity may be causing this. (the temps were the same with the reflector in place). kind of look bleached dont they

the tube can be cool to the touch,yet the radiant heat can still cause problems .hold your hand at the top of the plant between it and the light ,see how the temps feel

feels like a late spring afternoon . I use a digital thermometer that reads ambient temp from the unit and a probe that I sit 2cm above tops. it has a max/min reding too. highest max has been 28.8. Ill upload some more pics. And thanks, I really appreciate your help.

I'm with Robert.. I have always ran a cool tube and this is pretty common for me.. Just like you I put my hand in between the plant and light and feel a breeze with acceptable heat every time.. It's almost like the cool tube reflects like a magnifying glass and scorches when too close either.. althought that might be unlikely? I have definately learned through my experience there can be such a thing as too much light for whatever reason.. try backing off about 1-2 inches and see what happens buddy!

Yeah I'm not positive that's what's going on, but the same shit happens to me with a cool tube.. I think it's just an issue of intensity. Maybe we should construct the "cool cube"... no bevels for magnification?

I am spprised she made it. In relation to the size she is now, 4/5 days after I turned 12/12, I had to cut her in half. then i had to transfer her from hydroton cause the pot was root bound. I tied her from the rafter and dropped the pot under her than put her in coco(with liberal spraying of rhizotonic on the roots) she didnt even notice.
