Curling Growth after topping¿? Help!

New diagnosis here for me. Hope this one is an easy spot for the vets. I have a few orange cookie chem girls about 6 weeks in on a 19/5 cycle. Two “600w” LED (115 actual draw). FFOF blend (33% local organic mix + 33% perlite). First time with this strain and feeding them FF grow big + big bloom + cal mag. All 1/2 recommended dosage as the soil should still be pretty hearty with the 10 gal bags.
I topped them 7 days ago on the 5th/6th nodes and the small top sites haven’t recovered/ curling upward (pictured); I’m confused.. seems like it’s a temperature situation but my tent is consistently 80-85f with 40-50 RH. 6in in-line fan w/ HEPA filter on all in take sites of the 4x4 tent. I’ve adjusted the light distance several times and it only seems to make them more unhappy. (Was at 18”. Now at 24” distance). I’ve even flushed them with fresh PH tested water 4 days ago with no visual change. Should I be worried about the pointing of the new growth sites or just hang on?

Patience. She looks good. Give her some time she'll be fine.
I appreciate the response, Johiem. Any idea why the pointing is occurring? I’d expect this during the first 2-4 days after HST but I’m on day 8 and it’s throwing me for a loop...

If you're at 24" away, I'd think the pointing is just reaching for the light. I've got one girl that no matter where I put the light she wants to be 12 inches from it. If put your light a bit closer, 14-18" is average, I'd think she'll perk up.
