Help! Somthing eating my plant!!

Ok guys new at growing but this literally my 3rd plant, other 2 died on me, now my 3rd is going strong with most of the quirks worked out, now I'm having a problem with a bastard bug, somthing keeps eating my fan leaves! Litrally one night a whole fan leaf went missing, now every night it has somthing munched off, like somthing is chewing at the tips of the leaves, ilthere is also a few spots where theres a shiny residue but i found nothing to match a insect to the leafs damage, no signs of any insect activity and the grow is in my cabinet, im stumped if it continues any longer i wont have a plant left! :/ ive also noticed a decline in its growing... Please let me know if there is anything i can put on it to keep the pests off (if any) your 2 cents is appreciated!

What kind of soil is that?

Slugs=shiny residue

Take a stale beer and put it on the ground. Below ground level with the edge enough to keep dirt out. They'll slime in and drown.

Its a 50/50 mix of a super soil and organic soil, so far all of my plants have loved it before damn spider mites and root rot killed off my first crop. I bought it off ebay for 25$ and free shipping, you just mix it with any choice of good organic soil. Mine is a little chunky but it was the only one i had at the time of mixing.

How so? There is no slime trails anywhere and ive yet to see a single slug... Could it be a moth of some sort?

Oh and by the way this grow has been 99% from a led bulb, its a super high power 28w bulb its sold at walmart for 10$ a bulb if i can remember, super super bright(4 put together is just overkill right now so just one will do untill she gets bigger), i just took off the plastic diffuser and put it in a reflector lamp and does she love it, also this is a bag seed from some super dank bud i bought off of a buddy of mine.

Well u said shiny residue so it seemed like a natural conclusion. Could just be snails. That's a lot of leaf gone. Something ate it. Diatomaceous earth will take care of snails if you have them nd many other insects as well.

I have the grow inside, i think its a flying bug because there's no trace of anything the next day, feel like going and buying a camrea to record the whole night and see wtf is eating my poor girl

I second diatomaceous earth. It will kill anything and works great for prevention. I keep it close by
