Gray-brown spots with translucent halo, as well as browni...

I thought Oracle was doing well despite his stunted growth until I checked up on him and found this. What the heck is this? I'll isolate them in a corner for now.

Whenever there's an Alocasia question, I gotta hand it over to @PoisedAlbo (She's probably asleep though, give her till tomorrow morning 😜)
I'm with Steph @stephonicle, the Gregger you want is Audrey! ðŸĨ° She's our "Oracle" on all things Alo!

It does look a bit like a knock to me (physical damage) but I'll leave it to the expert. Dry tips is likely just a humidity thing, Alos like it steamy! 😂 Aim for around 70% humidity and she should behave ðŸĪžðŸ˜‚ xx
@JenniB81 yeah, I can't get a humidifier at the moment, and the one I had is nasty, so I can't really deal with humidity. I'll try to ask my mom if I could put it in her bathroom since it has a great window as well.
@PoisedAlbo it's 3 different leaves. I misted him in the past, but found out it was bad and stopped. My household humidity, well, I don't know for sure, but probably like 50 or 60%. The substrate is Miracle-Gro potting mix, the pot size is 6 inches in diameter, and probably 3 or 4 inches deep, he gets natural light since I couldn't set up my growlight yet.

About the stunted growth, he is 'unfurling' a leaf, but it is tiny and won't come out like the others. Also, another leaf is coming in, but it turned brown and never unfurled and is still attached.
@PoisedAlbo yeah, I am currently dealing with some problems with Miracle-Gro, so I am 100% tossing it out. Also, nearly all of the leaves are affected. After this treatment, I will put it underneath the grow light.

Also, I would like to wait a day or two. Will this be okay?
@PoisedAlbo I am pretty sure I was originally wrong about humidity, I think it's higher because the outside humidity often reaches 100% with ease so I am thinking I might have something like 80% humidity
