Not sure why my plants are looking like this all of a sudden. I have had what looks like light stress (but temps are good 70 F - 75 F and plants are about 2 1/2 feet from the lights). I flushed the pots a couple of days ago with PH 5.9 RO water and now the leaves at top of plant are looking like this. Anyone ran into this before?

what's your humidity like?
This doesn't look like light stress/bleaching imo
My plants always do this late flower when I drop the humidity in my room. The dry air constantly blowing around seems to 'windburn' the leaves if you will
Things look good though, maybe your picture doesn't show what you are talking about?

the lights are too close to the tops of your plants.

missed the part where you said the lights are 3 feet away. the other thing it could be is K def. but if you're flushing it doesn't matter.
My RH is usually about 45. I looked at my plants this morning and the leaf standup is more pronounced. I'm almost ready to harvest, just waiting for the trichomes to show a bit amber. But this look of the plants has me worried that they will stop maturing.

newbie guess.... the flush fixed a lockout and more of something (that was left) was absorbed all at once?
those still look nice
i hope it makes some people happy. oh yup it will.
good luck!

Yeah I don't know. Did you have a lot of silica? But if you're already flushing I wouldn't worry about it. They definitely look healthy.

probably just low rh giving your plants stress from any wind.
im guessing you have oscillating fan or something for air movement..
this happens always towards the end of chop for me if i lower my rh, which i usually do.
if your rh isnt about 15 numbers below your temp (ie: 75 temp 60% rh) you're VPD is off and will eventually either cause problems or just slow growth

btw plants pray hard just before they lose turgor... Also salt accumulation in leaf tissue multiplied by indoor lighting often gives that same appearance I see in your photos. They crisp up from salt burn... Ive seen it in coco, and in even in LO recycled soil..

flush. maybe add a flushing agent and cut the nutes and give it more water? sort of like a detox fast? huh, IDK. they still look good.
