Leaf tips dying?

So this is my first grow, and in the past few days I've noticed a few things I was concerned with. I'm primarily concerned with the third picture, where the tips of the leaves seem to be dying/pointing downward slightly. I'm growing them under a 1000watt MH bulb, vegging (day 22) in a pvc tent lined with panda film on 18/6 and giving them Humboldt nutrients (5-9-4) in half the recommended amounts a bit less than once a week. When I got the plants I used a beethoven bomb to fumigate them and kill any pests that could have been from the previous breeders garden. I've now seen 2 gnats in total in my house, and did see one near one of the plants. Could this explain the first two pictures leaf damage? Also I included the last picture to show my plant about day 5 after fimming, did I miss my fuck I missed cut or is this how early growth from fimming should look? Any advice will be much appreciated, and I apologize in advance for any information I may have left out. If there is any further information I can provide or pictures to help with getting some answers. please do ask!

Hey Diabolical! I think you had suggested this when you responded to my first post about a strange leaf after overwatering. However I do not believe that's the case, as there is currently no fan in my grow room whatsoever, I understand this is an important item to get, and recently purchased a few inline fans I intend to set up in the next few days. I will say the humidity is perhaps a bit low, could this cause this? They are sitting at around 75 degrees during day, 70 at night, at somewhere in the vicinity of 20-30% relative humidity, I am running a humidifier to try to fix this problem, but I am in a rather dry climate and currently leave my tent open so air can circulate, which makes keeping humidity levels up a scosh difficult.

I did notice my cat taking notice of my grow room today and did walk around it, but this plant is in the center of my canopy which would probably be tough to navigate through. I've definitely kept an eye out for bugs and as I've said, I've seen a total of 2 gnats, but upon examination of my plants I didn't see any bugs anywhere, is there any particular method behind checking for bugs rob333?

I wonder if it could be my cat... but I do doubt it, as he's a pretty picky eater, he passes up smoked salmon, Doubt he's munching my marijuana. Rob, I've definitely looked in the soil area, up and down the plants and under leaves and haven't seen anything other than one gnat, hopefully I don't have creepy crawlies that only come out during the dark cycle. If this is indicative of bugs should I treat the water or something?

Thanks man! That's probably what I'll do, and thanks Diabolical! As far as the leaf tips sort of pointing downward in the third picture, is this something I should be concerned about? I'm seeing it on a few plants for sure.

Its cool...when you topped it...you pinched those leaves too. I've done this once or twice, no biggie. Some plants are just a bitch to top;)
