Looks like either Magnesium or Potassium deficiency to me, not heat stress. 86-90 isn't dangerously high, imo, although if the problem gets any worse you probably should be wary of mold/rot. A little Azomite and Epsom Salt could clear it up. A little should go a long way.

I'm not sure, but it looks like a Potassium deficiency to me, usually burn starts at the tips, ime. If it's Potassium a good source for this is Green Sand. Can be bought off eBay? If it's Magnesium (less likely, imo, on second glance) then the Epsom Salt should be good. Azomite is Calcium and other trace minerals so it's a bit of a cure all for micro nutrients.

I'd start with what ever you've got with high K and give it a low does. See what she does.

Are your plants attached to the bamboo at all or do they just grow sort of lean up against it? Also when you have problems in the leaves like that, can you just cut them off or just the bad parts, will that hurt the plant?

Looks like he's got the main stems wire tied to bamboo sticks.

You can cut the leaves off, but most of the leaves are still doing work, imo. I say it more depends on what stage the leaf is in in its life as damage doesn't look too severe. Leaves start out requiring energy from the plant to grow, but quickly turn into a positive investment where it supplies energy back to the plant. At some point in the leaf's life, however, it becomes inefficient and later the plant begins to expend energy in order to sustain the leaf and even later the plant expends more energy to break the leaf down.

It's hard to say whether his leaves are a positive, or negative investment for the plant at this point, but I'd wager they are still worth some good. If he was to cut the leaves right now I'd say it was mainly for aesthetic purposes, but another grower might very well say chop 'em. I wouldn't cut off just a portion of a leaf, though, I'd go all or nothing.

At this point when its flowering, can you cut or pitch the main stem or would that screw the hole plant up?

Not sure I understand the question. Cut the main stem? As in, the main stem of the entire plant? If just the stem to the leaf, yes, you can just cut the stem. If you're careful you can probably just bend the leaf slowly down and the leaf's stem will break at the node. You have to be careful that when you pull the leaf away it doesn't strip some skin off the branch, though, because you could potentially strip off a long piece and leave raw skin on the plant exposed. Hope that's understandable.

^^^^Yeah, the main stem or more so the main bud, I know you will lose a flower at the top but could it help the rest of the buds get bigger? I have heard about topping but can you preform this in the flowering state?

Yes, but the main cola will be your best cola, I'm not sure why you would want to, it's really late to top your plant at that point.

What you can do, though, is wait for the top cola to ripen and once it's ready to be chopped, harvest just that cola. Odds are lower buds won't be quite as far along and you can let them ripen/mature at their own pace. Harvesting buds as they ripen is relatively common.
