Hey yall. My buddy is running a 4x4 with a hlg 550 eco. A.c is being pulled in with freash air, and exhaust carbon filter set up. The leaves are curling sideways and looking funny. I trimmed the fingers off for him to let more light through the canopy. He had the light 24 inch and 36 inch above his plants even to the top of the tent, but they are still showing stress. Hes dimmed the light down and its still doing this. Any advice would greatly be appreciated. Its his first time and its got me stumped
Help. My boys girls need some help

Why did you butcher all the leaves? That's not gonna help anything.
Trimming off the outer edges of the fan leaves like this are a technique used by people rooting clones, to reduce both the photosynthesis and feed requirement footprints. Don't do this on plants in their vegetative growth phase.

I'm guessing the ends of the leaves were all crisped up so they cut them off.

Is it best to leave leaves that have a lot of damage or to pull them? Is there a ratio of damage to good leaf that needs to happen before pulling the leaf? Just trying to figure out if I’m doing the plant good or harm by pulling damaged leaves.
OP if you left the leaves people could help more with what’s going on.
