looks more like heat stress to me.

Move your lights 24" to 30" away for a few days. 1000w should be between 18" (ideal conditions) and 24" from the canopy.

Not many of us have ideal conditions all the time.
 
Does look like heat stress....

What's up with the watering every three days? You should treat coco like coco and never let it dry out. Unless your plants are tiny, even with 7 gal containers they need to be watered/fed daily or every other day at the most.

when you see the leaf is curling up this far its deff also a heat problem, it means the plant cant get breath properly and curls up to get rid of the heat.
leaf fringe standing up point up mean the leaf is trying to dissipate as much moisture as possible but it is unable to. this could be caused by toxic salt buildup, lack of water , or as above heat stress.

Heat + some mg wouldn't hurt with the coco.

I know it's a popular thing to hang your lights very low but here's a secret. Pros don't.

Hey guys got lazy and copy pasted my info from another forum. This plant is actually over 2 feet away from the light. So i am going to eliminate heat stress for the equation. Could it be a mag overdose?

Could be the plants are at the verge of nute burn. I would flush with pH adjusted water and move the lights to 3 feet above the nearest top for a few days. If the new growth is normal lower lights back to 24 inches.
