I think it was partially from having the lights on too strong, fixed it the other day, may have been too late.
Thoughts?

Are they all in those tiny pots? Looks small for the size of the plant.
No, the tomatoes are in aeroponics, I should have specified sorry. They did get a little dried out a couple days ago, but looked to be rebounding and this happened.
The reservoir was 3.6ec and 7.2ph, so I adjusted it, but I don’t know exactly what tomatoes like for a range yet. The others seem happy, so hence the confusion.
Oh I don’t know anything about aeroponics, sorry. But it does look like it could be heat damage or something, hopefully with the lights turned down it will recover. Different varieties will have slightly different environmental tolerances, and temperature could vary slightly depending on their position, so that could explain why only some were affected.
Good news is that it doesn’t look like any disease or nutrient issue I can think of.
The light has a really intense Cree cob on each side, one being 2600k and the other being 5or6000k, can’t recall. So maybe it just doesn’t like the one wavelength over the other. One’s better for flowering plants and the other is better for vegetating plants.
The one plant that looks perfectly fine is actually under the one that burnt out last week, which tipped me off to maybe light intensity.
