holy crap, you might be right. I kinda need to cut the legs down on my grow tables. And these definitely got closer to the light than I would've liked.

I never thought of heat stress because the leaves weren't showing it that bad. And that Early Girl Haze strain that I grow I've scorched the crap out of the leaves and even burnt some buds a little (when I was even less experienced) and they didn't turn out like this.

It's worth noting that I have glass on my reflectors and they are ventilated. Interesting. If you are correct then one strain shows it's stress more in the leaves and the buds fare a little better, and in the White Rhino the leaves hold up better but the buds get hammered.

thanks for the tip. I really hope that's it. I started out growing under 400's, and that batch was my 2nd grow under 600's. So, i'm still finding my way. I'm gonna grab my tape measure and go check out the ladies.
