curling like that would be from the heat and not the actual light itself.
Unless its a different issue altogether.
leaf surface temps get up to 86. I've got another round of vortex going, but not sure what to change in an attempt to get flat happy leaves. It does appear only on the buds closer to the light.
hmmmmm
I use an infrared thermometer. 86 seemed ok considering I'm running co2. I can run the lights closer during early flowering without any ill effects, this up curling kicked in about day 30 or so. thanks for sharing your opinionobviously if you have buds closer to the light you have differing leaf temps, not sure how you would even measure that (laser temp reading?)
86 is pretty high anyways.
Light itself will NOT curl leaves, it WILL bleech them however.
It could also be from very low humidity due to the temps.
You're not having a "light intensity" issue.
