that means that the plant is recieveing a tad bit too much light. nute burn is when the plants leaf tips start turning yellow, normally if only the tips are yellow there is no reason for alarm but its when the rest of the leaf starts turning its time to flush but it seems to me that your plant is just a bit light sensitive and its trying to shade itself. i have grown some strains right beside others that would try and shade themselfs from the exact same amount of light that the other plant is loving. i would try and back the lights away a tad bit if its indoors or if its outdoors i would try to put it in a location where it dosent recieve full light all day. If you back off of the lights the leafs that have turned will most likely not turn back but within a week it will outgrow this problem and become accustomed to the light situation and thrive. hope this helps and happy growing.

i'm a little bit of confused right now sir,

if i still put them to the light they will adapt to it and thrive for more light? is this good or bad?
or i should give them less light?

what kind of lights are you using and how far away from the plant is it? what im saying is raise your lights just a little bit. about 6 inches to 1 foot and they will grow to it and adapt to it by the time they get there which is a good thing

no dont flush. just do something to get the heat out of the room. you can run your temps up to 85 degrees but i wouldent. try to get between 74 and 78, somewhere in that range would be perfect. the curling of the leafs means 1 of two things. heat stress or too much light. im sorry i didnt think of heat stress, but your lights look fine at the heigh they are at so that only leaves one thing. get a thermometer and find a way to pull air out of your tent. buy a cheap fan or something.

There is very very very little chance that you will see an MJ plant that has had too much light...
They are a sunloving plant and are made to take full on sun...
So...don't flush, it only makes things worse...
Just leave the plant be, and don't water again until the pot is totally totally light...like it is filled with styrofoam light...
Then just give plain water.

with just intake.. there is no where for the heat to esacpe.. you need some exhaust fans and what ive been told all you need is all exhaust and a vent for passive intake .. what this does is create a negative pressure that forces the heat out becuase there is not enough intake .. therefore doesn't "store" hot air in the grow area. if you don't have exhasut it could get really hot in there..
