Light burn vs heat stress — how to tell the difference?
Top leaves are yellowing/bleaching but the plant isn't wilting or drooping. Tent temp is 78°F which seems fine. Light is a 300W LED at 12 inches. Is this light burn or something else?

Had this exact issue last grow. What fixed it for me was flushing with pH'd water and letting the soil dry out before feeding again at half strength.
Looks like a classic case. Check your pH first — 90% of these issues trace back to pH being off. Even small deviations can lock out nutrients.
Environment is key here. What's your temp and humidity? Sometimes the symptom looks like a nutrient issue but it's actually environmental.
Post a picture if you can — hard to diagnose without seeing the actual damage pattern. But from your description, I'd guess pH-related lockout.
