Looks like over watering to me. How does the soil feel? Stick your finger right into the soil, don't just feel the surface with your hand.
Can we see pictures of the tear? Check the underside of your leaves - could be pests.
Last but not least, please give more info. Fill this out: https://www.growery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/53005
... then edit and add it to your post.

Yikes.... you got a lot of work to do.
3 inches dry? Hrmm.... I've only ever grown hydroponically so it's difficult for me to say if thats good. However, I still think you've over watered it. I know the way roots work is they grow, to reach moisture and nutes lower down - ergo, if you have too much water in your system, the plants roots can't develop properly because they don't know where to go. So perhaps allow your substrate to really dry out well. Let it sit for a week maybe? Hopefully one of the soil growers on the forum will swing by soon and give you some better advice.
There are drainage holes on the bottom of the pot right?
You definitely want to upgrade your lights a bit if you want anything decent out of this harvest. The plant would also grow and absorb water and nutes fast too, so in general I think you would see less problems. If you plan to grow more in the future, I would recommend an HPS - seriously worth it.
You need to get a ph meter. Fast. It's not a joke, you seriously need to know what the ph of your soil and water is. If a plant is outside optimal PH range it will nute-lock and either die, hermie or just turn out male. This is especially important now because your in veg. If your PH is fucked when you enter flowering, I doubt you'll be smoking anything in a few months.
Do you have a fan of some sort in your setup? An oscillating fan is perfect. Remember, not to close. Just close enough so the plant's leaves move slightly when the fan turns onto the plant.
You kinda screwed up on the soil since you have no clue what the nutrient content is. However, at 2.5 weeks I think your suppose to be feed that sucker by now no? Considering how much you've watered it, I'm sure the soil is pretty flushed.
Also, carbonated water is not a foliar spray. Haha, that's called the seltzer tek. Keep doing it though if your willing, I think it really helps if you don't have proper air flow in and out of your grow space.
So bottom line: Until you get a better response, just leave the plant alone and keep those lights on.

SpaceMonkey, it's carbonated water... he's not feeding it anything cept c02 and water.
@ Krielow: Just stumbled across this and I think it may help you out a bit. http://forums.cannabisculture.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=992013

SpaceMonkey said: ahhh, ok. But still, with the excess watering then spraying them probly wasn't beneficial either way, just my opinion.
Fo sho.
@ Krielow:
No don't transplant. Just leave your plant alone. Make those holes bigger, get some more lights and get those PH test strips. If your going to the hydro store, I'm sure they'll have the strips your looking for. Also, be sure to buy some PH calibration solutions or powders - have to be able to fix your PH if it's off.

Yeap. I wouldn't worry about that tear. It's probably just from deformation in the leaves caused by a bad PH.

Krielow said: ok so ph is the key im probably going look around town now for some litmus paper if my ph is too acidic or too basic how do i fix this? ph up and down? if so how do i use the ph up and down? also do i ph the water or ph the soil? can i use litmus paper for soil? and currently im using nestea bottled water to feed it, sorry for so many questions but you guys are on point! lol
1. Your hydro store will carry litmus tests. 2. PH up and down organic buffers work.
3. How you use the ph calibrators depend on whether you get powder or solution. Whatever you get, just read the instructions on the back. It depends of course how whack your PH is.
Be careful though. It's easy to add too much and throw your PH off in the other direction. Cautiously add small amounts until you hit the spot.
Also, you PH the water. Not to sure about testing litmus in soil, but I think so.

the ph calibrators are the ph buffers. Sorry, I use both terms pretty interchangeably.
