Is there anything on the bottom of the leaf? Tiny black spot or anything?  
Could be sun damage, too.

No signs of pests that i can see - its under a grow light, so could that cause this to happen? Its been in the same sp9t for about a month so i thought it was fine

I can’t speak to that directly, as I’ve never used a grow light. I’ve heard grow light can burn leaves. Is this one taller than the rest? Maybe it grew too close?  
Or is it an old leaf? Could be the plant is saying it’s time to let this leaf go. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yeah its a bit of a strange one! Ive cut the spot off that leaf \& just going to monitor it over the next few days. Hopefully thats it \& wont be anymore issues 😳

I hope so!  
But if you need to cut the leaf off, the plant will be okay.  
You’ve got this! 🤞🏻
