light or nute burn??

one of my 9 plants has these spots showing on it's leaves... based on the pics in the faq, it looks like light burn to me, and at first i thought it might be, as i've been experimenting with keeping my lights about 10 inches away from my plants for the past several days, but it's not even the closest plant to the light, when i place my hand at the top of the canopy, the light doesn't feel uncomfortable on my hand, and none of the others are exhibiting this problem. additionally, some of the lower leaves of this plant are showing this problem, so i'm inclined to think it's not light burn, and maybe nute burn. the sprouts were planted about 40 days ago, and i started them in miracle grow, which had time release ferts in it. when i transplanted them to new pots, i gently held the rootballs of each and gently shook as much mg out of them as i could before repotting in b'cuzz coco substrate, to which i added earth worm castings... i've been watering every 4-5 days since then. the first two times i used 2 tsp of fox farm grow big per gallon (total of 1.5 gall for whole grow for the past three waterings), and for the most recent watering i backed off and used about one tsp per gallon.

they are not clones, and i have been trying to feed them the same, although i have been just kind of approximating by hand as i fill up a can and water several at a time. fyi, the dirt in some of the pots definitely seems to dry out a little faster than others, so i guess some of them are more thirsty than others, but this one hasn't been one of the ones drying out early, neither is it wet overly long. it's on the outside of the garden footprint.

thanks for your input gbud... i will definitely back off a little on the nutes for now. just have to decide if i'm gonna repot em or not, and figure out what to change about the nutes for blooming, cause i put them on 12/12 last night :weed:

to me they look like damaged spots. Like something caused the chlorophyll to die. Its most likely nothing, nute burns happen all around the outter edges at first, not like that. And heat would probably deform your growth before anything else happens.

you know, i think some of the water with nutes in it might have splashed on the plant... maybe that burned the leaves. now that i think about it, it makes sense, because i have been reaching through that plant to water the others, and i think i remember a little spillage at some point...
