Did you drop water onto the leave while the light was on? that could magnify the light through the droplet and burn the leave a little. If you didn't then it could be a calcium deficiency. Check your pH first.

Maybe overwatering. Also, since you start with small containers I wouldn't recommend clay pots, plastic is better for repotting, with clay you will damage the roots no matter what. Happy bottanic.

Agreed-over watering issue. let soil dry out a bit more before you water next few times and should be golden.

I keep loosing leaves to some sort of nasty necrosis. It affects leaves at all levels, small and big randomly. I had to remove a lot of dying foliage At first it looks like a asymmetrical spot of leaf starting to thin out to lighter color then tissue dries and turn black. I have high runoff EC3.3 and I blame Easy boost pellets because I only add rootjuice 1ml/L and sugar royal 0.5ml/L to my water. What is it and how I fix it?
