Does this look like it's down to heat stress / light bleaching or is it a deficiency?

Thank you all for the replies guys. I didn't want to post too much info initially as my posts end up quite long lmfao.
Anyways, she's being fed on Canna Coco A+B at roughly 1.25ml per liter making an EC of 1.3 and I set my PH to 5.7 - 5.8.
The reason she's at EC 1.3 is because I've been checking the run off regularly for about 3 weeks now. I was originally feeding at EC 1.1 but she was a little pale when she first went into the flowering cycle and I saw the run off was coming out at 0.8 which I took to mean I could up the feed. So I've been upping the feed from EC 1.1 to 1.3 over that time and now when I feed at EC 1.3 my run off is coming out at 1.2 bang on. The PH run off is coming out at 6.2 constantly. There are no signs of burning anywhere else, just the upper part of the plant under the lamp. All the rest of the leaves are great and there's no classic signs of overfert i.e. burning tips anywhere else. It's just these few colas up top.
I have looked on the internet and at lots of diagnostic charts and the confusion I have is that it looks a lot like either Zinc def or Cal/Mg def HOWEVER I have been giving Plant Magic CalMag+ every so often as I know some plants can really lay into the Mg during flowering. What confuses me is how random this bleaching is. I mean I've got a cola that's right on the outer edge of the parabolic and it's bleached whereas I've got one right under the lamp that hasn't. I would have expected those colas nearest the lamp to all be bleaching. Not random colas at varying distances from the lamp. This is where I'm thinking it may be a deficiency and those diagnostic charts just confuse me even more as I've said above, it looks very similar to Mg/Cal or zinc def.
If ALL the colas close to the lamp were doing this I'd think bleaching straight away but the bleaching is so random :/ I mean I've got one cola sat 2 inches below the lamp and it's fine :/
I gave her a good flush through two days ago with 30L of plain straight nutes (no additives) at EC 1.2 just to clear out any crap and build up that may be lurking just in case it is some sort of lock out / deficiency etc. Then yesterday when I fed her I gave her an addition of 5ml of CalMag to 15L of feed just in case. I've also tied down what I can where I can to pull some of the worst colas away from the lamp more but she's very brittle now and doesn't take much to snap a cola off - which I managed to do the other day
Thanks again everyone.
