I've been battling fungas gnats since the jump and nothing seems to get rid of these fuckers. Is this a result of them or this a nute deficiency?? I've been feeding fox farm nutes throughout entire grow ! Any responds i greatly appreciate it ! ((Btw this is first time growing)) and yes I know they are too close to light but they stretched like a mfer and I can't move them up any higher .
Help !! **First time grower **

Looks like light burn to me.
For the fungus gnats..........3 drenches with Gnatrol for the larvae and yellow stickies for the adult flyers.

Thank you man appreciate it very much ! Now stupid question should I remove any of the dried decaying leaves or just let them rock out how they are ? I purchased Humboldt's secret shield flower shield will this suffice or should I get the Gnatrol?

For fungus gnats, you must stop the reproductive process. The larvae are in the soil. Gnatrol as @MickFoster mentions is good. I sprinkle Mosquito Bits on the soil surface when I water. Both of those products have a strain of BT that kills the larvae in the soil. A few days after applying, you fill start seeing fewer gnats. The sticky traps help catch flyers, and you can see what kind of other pests are in your garden.
Regarding the symptoms you are seeing on the leaves....
I've seen this in leaves on my plants when feeding heavy with high P flowering nutrients.
What are the temps, RH, feed/water sched, with what NPK nutes, ppm/EC, pH?
If it were light burn, I would expect to see more damage on the tops of the flowers, but it looks like mostly on the leaves.

Yes trim off the damaged leaves. They aren't helping the plant.
I don't know this product. Don't spray anything on the buds. The adult gnats don't make damage to the plants. They are just annoying, and some might get stuck to buds.
The larvae are what do damage to the roots.
