health Oldest leaves of reaper plant showing brown spots

Hi!

So Ive noticed that the leaves that have been on my reaper plant the longest are (2 or 3 leaves) are showing brown spots, what could be the cause??
The rest are more than fine and really dark green

Thank you for your help :))!
 
Old age...  plants will eventually shed all of their oldest leaves.  The low leaves also become "unnecessary" as the foliage extends upwards, and it will also become burdensome. (as it will be harder for transpiration to occur on the low branches)  The plant will abort these leaves, as required.  Or they will just be lost  through normal attrition.  So long as the plant it otherwise healthy, let them become mulch.
