Too Much Heat or Too much Wind?

[OttoCBD]

This is my first auto and the first indoor grow in a little over 20 years. I've never grown such a small plant in a small space and I've never done any LST. This morning, I noticed some of the tips of a few of the older fan leaves looked a little 'crumpled'. Almost like when paper gets when and then dries imperfectly. I think it might be from too much heat from my little heater (that silver thing with the hole in the top in the lower right) ..or wind from the little PC fan which has since been moved. The three leaves in question are in the images below. If need be, I can retake the photos with the supplemental blurple turned off. If there's anything else that stands out to a trained eye, I'd be happy to listen. Thanks!

With just 1 leaf and not even all its leaflets significantly affected, hard to tell. Proximity to the heater suggests that could be the cause.

Otherwise, these oldest fanleaves are destined to shrivel and die sooner or later; soon enough will be buried under layers of leaves; etc. If after your environmental changes you see spread, then you will have something to worry about. For any actual diagnosis, will need more information, such as medium/soil, pH, lights and height, feed, etc.

Heat is def a problem...a little breeze oscillating across the canopy is a good thing.
If the damage is due to heat, the affected leaves will probably never be better so watch new growth for signs. Change and watching for change is where patience is measured by days if not more but...heat is not a good thing for any length of time so solve any heat issue first.....

Thanks, guys. I've been reluctant to drag another extension cord into the cabinet but I think I'll have to do just that in order to move the heater which, as you guys suggest, is most likely the cause. I'll definitely keep an eye on new growth. I should probably switch the timer to have it run for 15 minutes and off for fifteen minutes during lights out rather than non-stop. The heater consists of a .65 qt crock pot that's safely contained in terra cotta pots. It gets warm to the touch but never hot enough to touch but it might be just too hot for some tender leaves a few inches away. Thanks again!

Looking at the picture again, the affected parts of the affected leaf are right above your heater cover. So I'd now strongly presume closeness to the heater caused the damage.

Upon closer inspection, that leaf isn't as close to the top of the heater as it looks in the image posted above. That's not to say that it's not from the heater but what I think is happening is that the heater heats up the black plastic covering that I have over the clear tube that's pushing air down into the drain/view tube and in turn the damage to the leaf is probably coming from the black tube. Either way, I'll move the heater to the back left corner tonight and see how it goes. Oh, and for the record the dangling cords on the right are not always like that. I just have some tidying to do after bringing in an intake fan this morning.
