This is my first grow ever so I am sorry if I am not including something I should or adding stuff that is completely not important. First a little back story. Originally these were planted with the intent of doing a stealth grow outside, just placing them somewhere and checking on them once or twice a week. After they started growing I realized this was not going to work, if I am taking any risk I want it to be worth something so both plants got moved inside. In my haste to get started and with not knowing what I was doing I am sure I have made a ton of mistakes. I noticed a few issues with some leaves and wanted some advice on the best way to proceed. The plants are now in a 20x20x48 grow tent. I now have a 6" fan, a carbon filter, and a 4" exhaust fan. Temperature is around 77 and humidity is around 50%. The light is a cheap grow light that is pretty similar to a MARS300. I plan on upgrading after this grow but for now this is what I am working with.
These are Northern Light Autos. The lady in the brown pot with the basil was planted directly in soil outside. The one in the green pot was germinated and started inside under a small 65 watt LED grow bulb. She is bent from some really light LST because I do not have a ton of height to work with. I am using organic soil with some extra perlite. They were both seeds 4 weeks ago today.
The plant that was outside was just moved inside a few days ago. The plant that I started inside I was going to move outside as well and this is where I think a lot of problems started. It was around 90 degrees Fahrenheit on the days I put it outside and at the time I was using a small cupboard to grow with very little airflow. I know the soil got extremely hot and then I put the plant in the cupboard and I imagine with very little airflow it got pretty toasty in there.
Both plants have been sprayed with Neem Oil to ensure that no bugs make their way inside and because I was not sure what was causing the spotting as that started after I put her outside. With the tent I have heat and humidity under control and just want to ensure that I resolve any other issues.
The white residue is just from some Dr Jacks Deadbug that was used before I discovered Neem Oil. The new top growth does not appear to have any burnt tips or spotting. Should I remove these fan leaves or leave them alone? Any help is greatly appreciated!

- talk about growing pains! Is there a brand of pen I should look into or will any pen with good reviews from Amazon work fine? I also think I want to upgrade my light before they start flowering so I really need to do some research tonight. I am not even 5 week into this grow and I already have a decent list of things I am going to differently the next time around, I was going to wait on the light until next grow but I want the best results possible. Thanks for all the responses and help., it is greatly greatly appreciated!
