Lemon seedling, strange looking brown leaf edges

Hello all!

I started this lemon seedling just for the fun and experience back in september of last year. Its been slow growing thats for sure. I have it growing in gritty mix, with a wick to insure complete drainage(bottom of the pot is shaped funny and would hold water in pockets.

I have a very small amount of dynamite CRF mixed in the top inch or so of soil, and use 1/4 tsp FP and PT with every watering.

This plant has looked perfect up until the last few days and its started developing a strange looking leaf margin on 2 leaves. Its unlike anything i have seen before. It looks like the leaf is made of brown plastic and was painted green, and the green is flaking off.

Its growing inside in a south west window, no drafts, 65-70 degrees F, 40-60% humidity.

Only things that have changed are that i added about half a tablespoon of the dynamite to the top inch of the soil a week ago
