So as you can see she is suffering from something but I cant figure it out.

This plant is 30days from sprout.
used 40w of 6500k cfl and just increased to 85w of 6500k cfl 2-3 days ago is now kept 6" away from top of canopy
RH is always above 25% (avg 30%)
circulatory fan added yesterday& no exhuast fan yet (have one but have to work on sound proofing)
Temp is always above 68f sometimes peaks in mid 80s (82ish)
was watered 4 days ago with a bit of molasses(still kind of moist half inch down, the top soil just looks dry)
the water used was bottled water which i just discovered is RO
tap water will be used in the future to correct this
Never fed but there are fert spikes made of natural ingredients (kelp, fish, feather &bone meal 6-4-6 ) mixed in the soil
kellog organic potting mix

Not sure if it is a mineral deficiency, heat/light stress, fungal or mite, or watering issue(though the plant does not seem to drink a lot) or possibly wind burn?
Thinking a molasses foliar spray may help, need suggestions pleaseIMG_0415.JPG

A lot more knowledgeable people than me around this forum, but I would personally cut out the molasses for now. Maybe that messed with the ph of the soil? If you have some ewc/compost, maybe try top dressing a little of that and start with plain tap water for now. I bet that would help out a broad spectrum of possible problems for now.

I personally would not mess with molasses as a folar spray, ive used a humic acid, liquid karma, from botanicare, ph'ed to 6.5-7, basicaly followed the instructions on the container.
Ive had great results with it, ill mist em down right before the lights shut off, plenty of air circulation, only in veg though.
