If leaf temps aren’t too high (32* CO2 enriched) is it ok to have a few sacrificial light burnt fan leaves, to get maximum PPFD at the canopy? Only the fan leaves are affected, and only a few closest to the light.
short answer is no.
what light are you using and the PAR readings at the canopy, and what are the environment conditions?

Edit: it’d be useful with a pic.
Are you venting co2 at lights out? If not that can turn leaves yellow and be mistaken for light bleaching.

Air cooled hood with a 315cmh and 600hps, along with 2 kingbrite 240w led

don’t know par. Yes, venting at lights out.

'Been doing a bit of prep. this weekend on the OD pen for next season.

Turned everything over & added a swag of Gypsum, cow shit, rooster booster, Seamungus pellets & all the coco left over from this year's grow & a half-bag of Who-flung-dung mulch that I had laying around. Gonna dig that whole lot in with some extra perlite, then mulch to cover everything, then water it all in with Go-Go juice. 'Should be good to go in about 4 months.

Guess how many plants are intended for this space????;)

Edit: The old greenhouse is finally cactus, so it's coming down & the replacement will be relocated to another spot away from the house-build site.
good start for next season. Going to keep adding more gypsum and dolomite lime every couple of weeks until spring? Don’t think you could go overboard on the gypsum at all.

Now would be a good time for a trailer load of manure and a bale or 2 of lucerne mulch/hay.
