What do you think this might be Nutrient burn. Or simple water splash?

Hey guys. This was my first attempt at growing. With the amount of knowledge I have learned from you guys I have been doing great so far. I started my babies on December 9th from seed (both white widow). I did not start giving them nutrients till about 2 weeks after december 9th. The nutrients I feed them are the fox farm trio pack. In 5 gallon dwc buckets. Im on week 4 of vegging with nutes. This Thursday I will flush and start to flower them. So As far as my nutes go I have slowly moved them up every week. Which by the way since I only have 2 buckets I was completely emptying my buckets cleaning them then adding fresh tap water and new nutes every Thursday. I usually up the nutes by about 200ppm every week. Last week I had my nutes at about 750 ppm. This week I did 2 things different. I didn't change the water, and I uped my nutes to about 1130ppm on both. Now you see the spots on the plant. Its only on one of the two plants. The bigger one, which I will admit I tend to bother more often then the other. I think it might be nute splash from the bucket. Or maybe even some of the leaves getting wet when lifting and closing bucket lid. Both buckets are same strength in nutes, only one has the burns. My Ph is at about 5.9 Im using t5ho with 4 bulbs at 54 watts each and they are 4feet long. I have a few cfls around the plants also. Other then this issue plants are growing healthy and fine to me. Also this problem is only on one side of the plant and Im not noticing it spreading.

It could well be mate, as your plants look healthy. What is your environment like, do you have good air exchange?

I wouldn't worry to much at this stage, just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't spread.

Thanks much guys for easing my worrys about my girls. It has not spread yet, still only on the one plant my air exchange is great. I can't really say that its on the side closest to the cfl's cause everytime I lift the lid I rotate my plants a little bit. Mr Ghetto, last week my ppms were at 750 I uped them to about 1130ppm this week. Which is my week before I go into flowering.
