Light damage, or just simple old nutrient burn?

Hey all!

I have a girl almost ready for harvest, and while inspecting the tricomes today I noticed some strange colorization on the leaves covering the main/top bud.

A few weeks ago I was feeding her a little more than she might have needed. I knew I was doing it, I just wanted to push it and see how she reacted.
She eventually showed some nutrient burns here and there, and some light Nitrogen toxicity, which was fine. I corrected it by lowering the dosage.

So that is why I believe this strange colorization might be left over nutrient burns from a few weeks ago, but I wanted to check with you guys beforehand.
Because I know that if this is light damage, that it could ruin the THC on the affected areas, and I don't want that.

I know it's hard to tell from the pictures because of the light, and that is why I didn't notice it myself. Because of the light in the grow room I didn't notice it until I did a really close inspection today.

But any help would be appreciated.

So what do you think?

Howdy Cocho, I agree with Kingfish, looks like mild nutrient burn to me, just the tips of the leaves. Light burn would be on the leaf nearest the lights.
Great looking plant that You have there!
 
Agreed with nute burn. Light/heat stress usually comes with leaf taco shape folds. Meaning the leaves fold on top of itself in an attempt to protect it from light/heat.
 
Thanks guys!

Been a few days now, and I must agree with you. It looks like nutrient burns. No further development, and the plant is still filling out so she's looking good.
I there was a case of light damage, I guess I would have seen a development in discoloration and more damage to the plant matter (crispy / crunchy leaves / buds).

She's closing in on harvest time now. I'll make a separate post with some more info before that.

Have a good weekend folks!
