Heat stress caused damaged fan leaves

I have a quick question...
If the fan leaves were damaged to the point of dying around the edges and still being slightly yellow would you recommend trimming the damaged leaves off or leaving them to see if they die completely/recover?

Cheers dude. Appreciate the help. 
Seemes to have picked up a bit after a water. The leaves are plump and not drooping, but still a very light green bordering on yellow around the edges.
The newest growth is a nice lush green, its the lower growth thats the problem. i'd say they're only 5% dried up and about 50% yellow/greenish colour on the edges. Still got dark green veins though.
We'll see how they pick up now the light and fan have been moved.

ok so from responses it could be a number of things which is what i was afraid of. Now I have to play the guessing game.
I'll see if i can get some pics.

well its around 8" high, so was looking to force flower when it hits 12". After reading that upping the P a couple of weeks before flower helps production i started feeding with Bio Bizz Bloom.
Its had a total of 2 feeds in 2 weeks with a flush of pure water between each one.
I've not done a PH test yet, each time i go out with the intention of buyin a PH test kit i always get distracted and walk out without it.
Temp is a steady 27 Humidity is 55-60%.
I spoke to Hydrophonics shop and they seem to think it's not a problem. That the lower leaves will just die off anyway to promote growth closer to the light source.
If its an Mg problem where do i go about getting epsom salts?
Also the soil is westlands multi purpose compost with added John innes. From what i read this has dolomite included in the mix and has a start PH of around 6.
As a seedling it was fine and V dark green leaves, but now... well you can see the discolouration.
Thank you for the help so far. It's proving to be aq valuable learning experience for me.

:S nope, just planted the seed and let it grow.
I will say im pretty new at this. Knocked out a couple of lowryder 2's in the same soil though and they went from seed to harvest without any problems. Thats why im a bit baffled at why this has started with problems so early.
I'm gonna make sure i get a PH tester kit and some epsom salts today. I'll test the PH first and if its stable i'll see what effect the salts have.

Right i checked the PH today. Even though the soil was 6 the water is around 8 so it seems to be settling at about 7.
From what i've read 6 - 7.5 is acceptable with optimal around 6.6 (?)
I've got some Epsom salts now so hopefully this will sort out my problems!
Thank you everyone for your help. Just another reason why i love the growery!

I just this second read that exact same info on this board somewhere. lol!
I haven't actually fed it any Mg as of yet.
I think what i wrote was misinterpreted. The soil was Ph6 when purchased. After doing a test of the soil today it showed as being Ph7. So I'm at neutral PH at the moment.
Hence why i got the epsom salts, cuz the PH seemed at a reasonable level.
