Too many photons! Twisted leaves

So I've had this recent phenomenon. For the last three weeks, all new growth on two of my plants has grown out twisted like this. Otherwise they look super healthy, and I have two others that look totally normal. So today I'm giving them a foliar spray and I notice, the two with the twisted leaves have light burn. I haven't seen anything published on my theory, so bear with me. I theorize that since they were getting too much light, the individual leaves were trying to hide the darker top side of each leaf, by presenting the lighter colored side so as not to absorb as many photons. I moved the lights further away and they are starting to uncurl. Thoughts?

I've attached a photo of the two that were affected. Look close, the leaf tips are not burnt, they are just flipped over.

About two weeks ago I did a whole bunch of searches and the only thing I could find were deficiency, or heat stress. And I knew it wasn't either so it was driving me nuts. It wasn't until today that it all came together. I didn't know cannabis plants could do that to protect themselves.
 
MJ, does all kinds of amazing things to keep living, surviving, especially when it comes to pollination.
Glad you figured your problem out.
