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.

Bud leaves turned black Top leaves turned brown overnight, That day I did come home to a disturbing temp off 31oC . It’s the black Mini leaves in buds that are worrying me more. lights came on accidentally for two hours so gave her 16hrs dark and back to 12/12 This may have contributed.
