I am also having another problem that some one might be able to help me with. I just added to 100 watt halogen light. I have had 3 brown spots on the fan leaves. They are all a little smaller then a dime. Is this nutrient deff or the light too close
Halogen lights put off way too much heat. Replace those halogens with 8 more 23 watt CFL's. Less heat, probably more light in the correct spectrum and slightly less wattage.

I believe one of the first symptoms of heat stress is the leaves curling upwards. Brown spots could be from iron toxicity or maybe from what I've read calcium deficiency or boron deficiency.

I'm not very good at diagnosing problems like this yet but I'm trying. Just thought I'd throw out something incase it helps.

Do you have any pics of the problem?
