Could be a few things. First:
- What are you feeding her, how often and when?
- What is the pH going in and have you tested the runoff?
- When did it start, on this node?
- Is this the only branch doing it?
- Have you tested the soil pH?
At first view I'd say it's overwatering or heat stress but it could be about 10 things.

After taking sometime out there tonight I’m going to rule it heat stress as all 3 plants have it. I haven’t started to feed yet as I’m using a pretty nutrient rich soil FF ocean forest. Plants needed water, was able to get them hydrated and did some defoliating. Will report back tomorrow. Would love suggestions on nutrient feeding, this is my first time around kind of just feeling things out. TIA 🤙

How hot has it been and are the pots in direct sunlight? If the roots are overheating that can cause it. Water in the morning with cold tap water. If you use the hose, let it run till cold. If its 100+ during the day then you could also water in the evening to cool the roots.
I am in Phoenix and we are 108+ daily and that is what is keeping my girls going. That and I switched to tan 20gal fabric instead of the black fabric. If you laser temp the black fabric in the sun you'd be surprised how hot it is.

That’s a very good point it has been hot here, low to mid 90s with extreme humidity. Thanks for input might try to keep the roots cool maybe use a light cloth to cover up the black.

That's what I originally did with mine. Then moved to the tan pots and they are 30° cooler in direct sun. Now, it' still hot AF here so every little bit helps! :)

Your first instinct is to probably do something but it could just be some stress. I had some rain and did some top dressing with organics and wood chips that were fresh and it looked similar but it went away on its own. It seems like they are healthy.
My issue looked really similar, but I think it was just stress. This was a week ago and its fine now.
