my plant is about 4 weeks old. the other day i turned off the small fan i have in my box. i sprayed the plant with some water and left it alone for a day, next time i visit it i notice these brown spots on a few of the lower fan leaves. at first i thought that because i sprayed water it might have puddled on the larger leaves and with no fan to help it evaporate, maybe it just sat too long and caused the lights to magnify and burn the plant, but after turning the fan back on, i haven't misted again yet, but the problem seems to persist. it has progressed slowly since then and i'm beginning to think it may be a different problem entirely. i haven't added any nutes to the watering schedule yet, should I? (at least i know it's not nute burn). i have no way of knowing what the soil ph is, but it does have a fairly good amount of peat moss in it. about 50% potting soil from wal mart, (i'm pretty sure it doesn't have any nutes or anything in it, its not MG, expert gardener i think), prolly 30% peat moss and 20% perlite. i've been watering with bottled water, ph level is around 6-6.5, also, i've started to LST the plant a few days before this problem started. on one side of the plant the large lower fan leaves are pushing against the soil, the other side are up in the air a little more, not touching the soil. the problem started on the leaves that are in the air, and is worst here, they feel burnt, crispy, dry. but now it's starting to move to the other side as well, to the leaves that don't get much light, so like i said, i don't think it's light damage or anything. should i remove the affected leaves? i know they're not supposed to be touching the soil, but everyone says don't trim leaves off, esp. in veg. the temps stay between 60-80F and humidity stays around 30-40% any help will be greatly appreciated
