Monitor things closely my friend. If each of those boards are 220w each you've got 880w overhead. That's a considerable amount of output for the footprint they're illuminating. I'd bet my day's milk money the upper portion of your canopy is suffering from light burn. If you notice on HLG's website none of their lights are over 650w designed for a 5x5 footprint. Increasing the output beyond that would produce too much output causing unwanted light burn. Couple too much light with a high ec and that could be a perfect recipe for crispy leaves. The only reason I felt inclined to post this is because I know how much work you've put into your garden. I want your harvest to be successful as much as you do. My final thought here is in the form of a question: If changing the fertilizer from jack's to the flora trio didn't offer any improvement and the problem continued do you believe the issue is nutritive or environmental? Just a few ideas to knock around in the 'ol think bankI never got around to ordering the UV so no idea on it.
I have noticed the worst areas start out up top, but under the canopy seems to be in better shape.

So I've gone ahead and dropped in a 4th board, staggering them running @ 120w about 22" above the canopy.

I went ahead and made a rez @ almost full strength,, 2.18EC.
I figure I'll let it go and see how things look in a week.
