The leaves that are more exposed and closer to the lights are not really drying out like that and they are about 2 1/2 feet away from the light. The ones in the pic's came from the middle of the plant, more like 3-4 foot away. I just started misting them a little once a day for the last week and it looks like it might be helping. I was told sparying the plants when flowering wasnt good. Understandable that your not supposed to hose the girls down. Also, I noticed a 20 degree drop when they sleep which cant be good either.
