So I first noticed these spots yesterday and I thought maybe it was because I had the CFL bulb about an inch from the leaves. I lifted it to about 2-3 inches, though, and today the spots are getting worse, not better.
Here's the leaf where I first noticed the splotches:

I also noticed one of the leaves from the first node has some spots now too:

Otherwise the plant looks pretty healthy, I think:

I haven't used any ferts yet, but the organic potting soil I'm using (McEnroe) says it is "fortified" with "natural supplements" and is "non-burning." They are vague on the bag and vague on their website (link) about what goes into the soil or how "hot" it is. Here's the ingredients list from the bag: "Compost, sphagnum peat moss, and natural supplements." I mixed the soil about 70/30 soil
erlite, but otherwise have made no soil modifications.
I was planning to feed ferts starting in about a week, but if this is a deficiency then I might start with the next watering (which will probably be in 3-4 days, give or take). Unfortunately my soil pH meter hasn't arrived yet, so I can't take any measurements at this time to help narrow down the issue.
Any thoughts?
