Does your soil have time released nutes like miracle grow? It looks like that tip is nute burn

There's no time release nutes as far as I can tell.

Could it have been cause by drops of water frying on the leaves under the light?

It could be from water on the leaves. You aren't supposed to get water on the leaves for precisely that reason, especially if you are using a MH. Either move the light back or just try not to get any water on the leaves again and see if that helps. (probably the second one)

Yeah, Imma go a completely different route on that one and say that I am POSITIVE it's nute burn. I had a young plant do the SAME exact thing (leaves angle down, leaf edges curl, brown spots appear...)

I would water the plant with plain ol' distilled water for at least a week (or untill leaves aren't angled down, and growth speeds up again) because otherwise, if you keep nute-ing it, it will stop growing completely and get worse.

If this helps: take note that the already damaged leaves will not go back to normal, but all new ones that sprout after the fix will be burn free. If this does not work, and the burn stays or gets worse (and you aren't using ANY nutes) then get a bag of the MOST GENERIC potting soil you can (as it will likely be the most nute-free ... a 20 lb bag for like $3) and transplant it, and continue with a week or so of just distilled water watering. (I guarantee THAT will fix it)

Yeah here's a pic of the nute burn I had, and another of the plant a week later (after I did exactly as suggested you do)... Notice on the second pic that the leaves that were damaged grew bigger, but did not look any better... while the new growth was flawless. This should happen to yours as well.
