Your lamp is to close.

what is your humidity? I remember this one by thinkin the plants in a desert, and its making cups for water.

low humidty causes cupping typically
light burning looks a lot more like nitro burn to me with twisting of the leaves, not cupping generally. the cupping people might see with light burn is just due to the extremely low humidity by the lights.

i'm more of a picture book kinda girl/guy?
Sorry picture quality sucks. Snapped the pic. With lights on. I have two cool mist humidifiers going but it only raises the humidity a little. Without humidifiers it’s like 26% with them running it’s between 32 to 43. Any ideas? I can get more pics with regular lighting if that’ll help. Some of the lower leafs have a papery dry feeling. Also just a slight and I mean a slight bit of yellowing on tips of new growth

are those water droplets on the leaves a normal thing for you? and what is your exhaust situation, rather, is tis a sealed grow tent? or an open area?

It’s a sealed tent. Good exhaust and intake. Temp. @ 77. It’s the humidity I’m having problems with. Already got two cool mist humidifiers in there. The actual leaf tempature is 72-75 used an infrared gun.

its low humidity stress, i am currently battling the same condition. You can kill back your lights or figure out a way to humidify. I will let you know if I figure out a good solution that I will actually accomplish. Ideally we need a closed loop circuit with c02, an air conditioner (window unit works), a plenum (metal duct box), humidifier, duct, ductfan.

Do you have glass covers on your lights?
I can only speak from my own experience. I have had humidity in indoor grows average 25-30% in veg while all the other conditions were good and there was good air movement and I always had happy healthy plants. Maybe different strains act differently but I don't think humidity is the problem. It is more likely to be heat stress or a lack of proper ventilation or proper circulation IMO.

I think I was overwAtering. As I actually pulled this plant out of the pot and looked at the roots. The roots are white but the soil is still moist feeling inside. I think the roots are getting oxygen deprived and that’s the cause of all my problems. Any thoughts?
