There are 2 spots in my tent with the Optic 8+ (COB style lights) that if a bud is in that spot it will white the tip. It's repeatable across different genetics.
It's something to do with the 120* lenses and a spot where they all coalesce into a spike in PPFD. I can actually prove this on my current grow if you want to see it.
That said, for me it looks like a huge chunk of crystals and sugar, and seems like it would be super potent. Digging deeper and measuring the THC of the bud, it's just average and the plant is just light bleached. I've tested this out a few times now.
What you have going on may be very different than my situation, but yeah, light bleaching is real and does not increase THC.
I'll try to dig up some pics.
