Should I remove this bad growth so that I can more easily monitor the new growth?
The damaged leaves will never get better. Remove the badly damaged ones first. Afterwards evaluate how much of what remains has minor damage. If it isn’t a large percentage, take them too. Now take lots of pics from different angles. If you notice more damage next week you can refer to the pics to see if you just missed it the first time through.
I meant to ask, but is the damage in the lower/older leaves, the newer/upper leaves or a mix? A deficiency with a mobile nutrient will tend to show up in older leaves. The plant needs more than it has and moves the nutrient from the old growth to better support new growth. A deficiency in an immobile nutrient can’t be overcome in this way and tends to show up on newer leaves. Calcium is immobile. Once it’s incorporated into a plant’s cell it can’t be relocated. Magnesium is mobile and can be shifted by the plant to where it’s needed most.

The damage seems to be mostly up top in the new growth, but there was some through the entire plant. I have clipped away all of the damage and she looks nice and green. I will do daily inspections and watch for any signs of color change anywhere else. There are still many fan leaves that are not the right shade of green, but they are still green, so I am going to leave them present for now.

So I am not sure what to do with my “Strawberry Cough” tent. I have been fighting, and i mean FIGHTING uneven growth for the past 7-10 days and it has really just hit me today that I am losing bad. This tent really needs to be flipped to flower, but it is so even im not sure if i should.
The plant on the left side of the tent is just getting completely overrun at this point and im worried if i flip it, she will get suffocated by the big girl on the right.

Different strains, different heights. I’m not advising you do this, just telling you what I did. I evened them up by topping the fast growers on the right.
Interesting bit…. When the stretch came the shorties on the left overshot the topped ones on the right. All I can glean from this is life ain’t fair.
You’re due for flip, by the way. Your square footage is filled. As Horace Greely once said, and I paraphrase, “Go up, young man”. Top or supercrop, you have to even things out a bit. Lord only knows how much stretch you’re going to get on which. I’d look up the percentages for indica v sativa. Indica would be double current height, sativa triple.
I should have prefaced that the grow I described was a SOG. 8 plants each from two strains flipped two weeks after transplanted from solos. Near as I can tell, I saw no real difference in the yield between the two.
that looks like so many ounces to the untrained eye
Super crop the tallest and flip it 
Question about the VPD shown above, is it high, always? or just if Leaf Temp-tent Temp formula in software is not utilized?
It seems to change frequently and dramatically with my ambient air temperature outside of the tents. I assume this relates directly to the intake. I will be real honest though, I know nothing about VPD.

You can’t hold it every hour just accept the daily average.
Here a chart that is much easier.
Try that

I have been so fortunate so far; My humidity stays around 38-45% most of the time. Even in my flowering tent.

I agree it, it changes too much, w/o a PMEFF (Precision Measuring Equipment Fudge Factor).
Thank you for taking your time to reply. I gave up on VPD after two nights of craziness.
The reality on VPD is that you can’t really control it. The best you can realistically shoot for is high RH when they’re young and as-low-as-you-can-reasonably-achieve in flower. In veg - doesn’t matter much. Early flower, same. Later in flower, you can shoot for whatever you like, but if you can keep below 60% and have air movement you should be ok.

Thanks. 80 degrees with 50% humidity works for me. Week 3 since starting flip. There are nice buds starting to develop (showed female status at flip, except some seedlings I moved into flower tent). I have pictures of the banished (1 male and 2 Hermis). Female flower with Balls, who knew. Holding my breath and awaiting to see if the damage hurts the grow. Seeds not needed, but a consolation, I guess. I have some 7-year old pollen to try, if I wanted seeds.

Should I do something here? If so what? The buds are like in the lights…Everything looks great and smells great but this has to be a disaster waiting to happen

About the only thing you can do is bend them over and tie them off. Some may recommend cropping them, but I’m not sure if that would stress them out to much this late in flower.
I’ll tag a couple others who may have better advice.

Even though I love supercropping, I feel it would be detrimental here. I agree with you @Bulldognuts , bend and tie down might be better…
