Not sure what's going on here. The closest thing I could find online is a bug problem, but I haven't been able to confirm anything as of yet. I was hoping more experienced growers can offer a few suggestions.
I use a 4000 lumen 2 bulb x 2 foot T5HO light, about 3 inches above my plants (only growing 2, and not very tall, so please, no suggestions for better lighting because I don't have the room).
I have them in a DIY grow box currently without ventilation, though I plan to amend that as soon as I can afford it. There's plenty of cracks in the box, and I open it frequently to check on them.
I've been watering them once a week with spring water and filtered water. Burpee pH meter tells me I'm about 6.8-7.0. Sounds like that's not an issue.
I use Roots Organic Original soil, which is what I germinated in as well. The affected plant is also about 2 1/2 weeks old, but has been growing really fast for a T5 grow.
Here's a pic of the whole affected plant:
Ignore the burnt looking lower leaves. That issue seems to be a closed case (transplanting and flushing stopped the spread), though that was only last week.
I do have a 1/2 tsp/gal solution of FF Grow Big, but I was going to wait to start feeding when the soil dries out and is ready for watering. I don't think that would help me with the current dilemma anyway.
I haven't been measuring temp/humidity at all because I really don't have a way to change either one.
Just hoping it's not a pest issue, even though it looks like one. That would be a pain in my ass.
So, what do you all think?
The strain is banana kush, by the way. Got my seeds from a bag (had A LOT, so I only picked the strongest looking ones). Good quality bud, surprisingly, for the number of seeds I ended up with.
