Problems after first night in the grow box...

Okay, so yesterday I transplanted my seedling into a 6" pot with Miracle Grow Moisture Control soil.

Then last night I put her into her new box (pictured below) but only left the 42 watt bulb in, as it got REALLY hot with all three in.

When I got up this morning and checked on her, the bottom leaves (I think they're called the false leaves?) one was halfway brownish, and there's a spot on one of the top leaves. It's small and white.

I'm thinking nute burn maybe? I can't take a picture right now as people are at my house and I can't get her out publicly to take a picture.

I'm thinking nute burn because after I bought the soil and get her transplanted I read on here that MC soil sucks for growing because you can't control the nutes precisely.

Any ideas on what this might be?

Any thoughts as to what I should be using then? That's be a more helpful post.
YOU MIGHT TRY SOME CFL'S ..they are compact fluorescent lightbulbs usually found at any grocery store they dont put out much heat and they are cheap...the MC soil sucks get some fox farm ocean forest....

I am using CFL's actually. The picture I meant to add into the post didn't show, so I'll add it to this post.

I've got a total of 3 CFL's, one 42 watt and two 26 watts. It got WAY too hot in my box for all three, so until I get fans in there, I'll be sticking with one.

I'm still having an issue with the leaf being yellowed. After reading a lot on here today, I do think it's nute burn.

Would there be any issues with changing soil to a more neutral version tomorrow?
