I received my plant in great condition after my worries of overseas shipping, unfortunately it lost both of the pitchers it came with even with bagging for a month. But it's kept putting out new growth each time (admittedly smaller pitchers) than the ones it had when it arrived.

I'm not bagging her (hopefully female lol) anymore after a month but I've noticed some damage to the leaves, should I be concerned about the blackened leaf on the left?

It's being grown under 2 T5 24w 6400k bulbs about 6 inches away from the rosette. I've noticed some red on the leaves so if needed I can back off the light an inch or 2 if that's a problem. Would love the input. Thanks guys.

Looks like light damage to me. Not sure though. Are you seeing the meristem continue to grow, or has the plant stalled out?

It hasn't stalled growth yet, each leaf is a tiny bit bigger than the next, I was concerned with light intensity but the pitchers that have come out since It's been semi-acclimated seem ok...(red but ok)

If it hasn't stalled, I wouldn't worry all that much. Plenty of my plants that are grown together in the same photoperiod get testy with me because they are receiving too much or too little light. How many hours is your timer set for?

Keep in mind, my only hamata experience is with the burkei x hamata. However, that is probably the third least picky plant I have dealt with.
