Cannabis leaf heat stress
If you look closely you will see the brown cannabis leaf edges in the center that are indicative of cannabis leaf heat stress. This damage looks allot like nutrient burn, except cannabis leaf heat stress occurs only at the tops of the cannabis plants closest to the lamps. There's only one cure for this... get the heat away from the cannabis plants, either by moving the lamps or moving the cannabis plants.
Nutrient solution cannabis leaf burn
There's a good chance that this cannabis bud was subjected to nutrient solution burn. These symptoms are seen when the EC concentration of hydroponic solutions is too high. These symptoms also appear when strong nutrient solution is splashed onto the cannabis leaves under hot HID lamps, causing the cannabis leaves to burn under the solution.
Many hydroponic gardeners see this problem. It's the beginning of nutrient burn. It indicates that the cannabis plants have all the nutrients they can possibly use, and there's a slight excess. Back off the concentration of the nutrient solution just a touch, and the problem should disappear. Note that if the cannabis plants never get any worse than this here, then the cannabis plants are probably just fine.
This figure is definitely an over-fertilization problem. The high level of nutrients accumulates in the cannabis leaves and causes them to dry out and burn up as shown here. You must flush with clear, clean water immediately to allow the roots to recover, and prevent further damage. The find the cause of the high nutrient levels.
