Your plant look good, I just think that your affected leaves are just showing their age.
At this point you might want to add some Calmag to your water, as around this time they probably could use a little boost.
Good luck

Or it could be the water droplets that I see on your leaves. Water droplets act like a magnifying glass under light. It will cause spots that look exactly like the ones you have. Spray leaves right before lights out.

I'd keep it in mind, it might be a contributor.

Just looking again, and have to ask whether it's heat from that bulb? I realize it's cfl, but the damage looks to be right below the bulb?

Cool, well i'd suspect something at the rootzone otherwise.

I'd suspect you might be overwatering a touch tbh. Watering more often would dissolve the slow release fertilizer faster too.

I'd be tempted to top dress with a little lime, it should help if it's a nutrient issue. Likely cut down on watering slightly too, maybe every 3rd day instead of every 2nd?

Does look like something at the rootzone to me.

Good luck mate, hope it helps.

Actually it could be from the light being magnified by the water. It does look like this when it happens. Also, if you look at the lower growth there is water on the leaves. This is why I said that too the op. It could be a ph issue, though checking run off does nothing in true organic soil. The soil will buffer the ph on it' own provided you're using the correct soil or recipe.

With led you do not need to feel heat in order to get burn. Even in low temperatures you can still burn/bleach the plant if the light is too close.

What brand is your light and how far away from the canopy is your light.

I'm gonna second this. Overwatering will cause all of the issues you're experiencing, as well as the ones everyone else has brought up.

Overwatering causes those brown spots, phantom Ca/Mg/P/K deficiencies, and so much more.

That plant is still rather tiny, so it isn't going to need much water.

The plant looks good overall, just stop watering as often and you'll notice improvements on the new growth.
