Serated edges of leaves turning upwards

Hi top leaves on plant do u see ?
Actually no. But raised edges usually indicate heat stress. What’s the temperature at the area it’s affected? How high is the light? Type of light including actual wattage and percentage of power if it has a dimmer?

A pic showing actual area of concern in normal light would help.

If it is heat stress will the plant recover fully ? Looks like it is I thought maybe too much light or insufficient circulation

That's just the top of your plant being in a different environment to the rest of it, ie dryer and hotter. That's what's causing the curling and why it's not happening to the short ass. Best way to combat that is super crop the tall ones, keep the canopy nice and even and keep the light intensity rather than moving it from the majority of the actual foliage in there

And yes they can fully recover from that almost immediately.

Yea you can do it it's just squeezing the stem where you want to bend so it becomes supple and bends easily. Bend it very slowly and squeeze above and below where you want to bend it to make it more supple. Squeeze til you crush it and it should fold easily. It'll fully recover in a few days with a nice knuckle and a more even canopy.

MAC1 clone only seems to do that no matter what environment. At least the pics on CAPs forum show that.

Coukd be genetics or coukd be heat stress/too low humidity

Hope this helps:
I run Samsung QBs (set to the maximum setting of 240 Watts). 18 inches is the sweet spot for me.
Any lower, most of my strains will show curled leaf edges (like yours) at the top of the plant. This level of 'stress' can stunt growth (so I have been told)
