Light being too powerful and/or too close can cause this to happen, but don't worry, in my experience they grow out of it if you raise your light up about 8 inches or so. I can tell you from your pictures that you definitely without a shadow of a doubt that you have some light stress going on, you see the leaf serations curling up, and how the leaves look 3d, and a little color is being bleached out of the upper most leaves, all that is light stress, its not to the point where you have to worry, and if you move the light up they will improve fairly quickly. Happy growing.

Thanks all! I moved the light up so it’s now around 30” away from the growth and have ordered devices to test PH in the water and PPM in runoff. Thanks again 😎

Definitely looks like light stress, move the light higher or dim the power slightly 🌱👍

Hard to tell from the pics alone. Overall healthy looking plant. I don’t see much fading leaves or yellowing so I’m not convinced there’s a major problem. Looks like it could be environmental; I had a similar issue when my light was a bit too close and the tent got a bit too hot. My ph was also too high for a few days during veg and the heat/light too close/ ph rise ; all 3 together were just a bit too much and the plants suffered. Thankfully they bounced back quickly once I sorted out the problem. How close is your light? Are you measuring your runoff EC and ph?
