Leaf Brown Spots and Crispy HELP

Hello all, I have an Early Miss Auto about 2 weeks old, I'm growing in soil that's been amended with all organic materials such as blood meal Guanos, kelp, and a lot more. The soil has cooked for over 2 months, and the pH is 7.0, as is the water I use. I transplanted her into a 1gal. pot after one week of growth in a Solo cup. The container is layered with perlite in the very bottom, a layer of soil, then a layer of cow manure, soil, then a layer of high nitro. fish meal, soil, then the plant root ball. There are 2 spikes on the verymsides of the pot filled with high phos. bat guano. I'm using 400 actual watt LEDs, temp is around 75 fare height. O.K. if I haven't bored you yet here's my problem. The 2 first true leaves got brown spots and eventually tturned crispy. I see a few spots on the newer leaves also. Can anybody help me with this. The symptoms sseem to look like a phosphorus diffesioncy (sorry a out the spelling). But with the guano spikes I'm afraid to add more phosphorus. Any help would be appreciated.
 
From your description- it sounds like the LEDs are too close for a 400w (true) and too much nutrients for an auotflower.
 
Mr.Furley is on the right track - ph is too high - with all that stuff that you are offering your plant (in my opinion it's way too much) your plant can not absorb any of it if your ph is too high - has to be between 5.5-6.5 - so your dead and crinkely leaves are the result of 'nute lock-out'.
Or - it's burning itself up with everything you have given it. Like putting too much fertilizer on your lawn - just burns up and yellows.
 
Yes I think I have a few problems. I thank you all for your inputs. Here's what I decided to do, I'm trashing all the soil that I spent way too much money on adding all those additives and try my luck at coco ( soiless). Thank goodness I only lost 1 bean, I tried doing what I read in a book called True Living Organics. I'm going to follow the grow techniques that Nebula Haze has described. I've got more bricks of coco coir than I know what do do with, I found a great price on perlite, and I'm just going to buy the G.H. Flora Trio. I just don't have the time and money to dial in all this organic stuff. I like the idea of organic, but I want to catch a buzz too. So chemicals here I come. Lol. If you'd like to add to this I'd like to hear what you have to say. Thanks again.
 
Good plan. I always use some kind of flush the last few weeks - let's the plant use up all the nutrient left overs. And smooths out the smoke.
If you want to add organics - check out Foliar Essence
 
Good choice @Greenleaf
I grow coco with Foxfarms and it is easy.
Just so you know Fox Farms base Big Bloom is organic, it is the grow big and tiger bloom and other additives that are not.
Just food for thought
