Move your light up to around 18-20". Also take her down a notch on the feedings bro. A good flush would likely help.Sent from my NSA recording device.
Looks like it could be a combo of heat/light/wind stress. Shes cuppin her leaves to hold in moisture maybe back off the fans a bit too Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using Grasscity Forum mobile app
The problem is that I am tapped out on heights. All the real state that's left between cola and the lit is a foot. Turn the light to 600w is my only option but I am not sure it's a good thing to do during flowering.
Turning the light to 600 watts will not harm your plant any more than it would to leave a 1000 watt bulb one foot away. I generally found the sweet spot for distance between bulbs and plants to be about 2-3 feet, but that's particular to my grow. I'm not sure whether there is too much light for the plant to photosynthesize or the intensity of the light is simply drying out the leaves (you'll know if the bottom leaves don't show these signs) but raising the light further away or dropping the wattage will probably help. And as Stumpie pointed out, a good flush doesn't hurt.
