New to MarsHydro lights

Hello everyone, glad to be a part of cannabis community such as this. I’m on my second plant right now and I’ve been seeing some strange things that I did not with my first. A bit of a backstory - my first plant was a gorilla glue auto, lights for that setup were a pair of used blurple that I got second hand. I have pretty much zero info about it(aside from it being a 350watt lamp, as advertised by the seller). My first plant is still growing, it’s almost harvest time, I’d estimate about a week to go. Throughout the whole life cycle of the first plant, I always saw nice dark green leaves. But with this second plant, I decided to get a MarsHydro TS1000 lamp, about 3 weeks after it sprouted from the seed, meaning for the first 3 weeks, the second plant was sharing space with my first under the blurple lights but I eventually moved it over to a separate box with the new lights. But now I’m seeing this odd discoloration, some of the leaves are turning bright green in the center. Not sure what it could be. I’m feeding the second plant the same way as I fed the first and even a tad bit more(since I read that LED full spectrum requires more nutes since they give so much light). Here’s some pictures to go along with my rant :)

So the pictures of the plants in white led lights, that’s my second plant and a buddies(I’m using his grow box for the time being ^.^)
The picture of the two plants in blurple is from May 31st.
The picture where all 3 plants are outside is from June 11th.
And the batch of pictures of the second plant are from June 23rd.

When not under the led lamp, the leaf discoloration is almost not there, but I’m just very worried. Any tips/ideas/comments are very much appreciated.

Oh forgot to mention, the second plant is dosidos strain. All of the plants are auto flowers.

Derp completely forgot to mention the soil and nutes. Both of the plants are in TopCrop complete mix soil. For nutes I’ve been using TopCrop line for autoflowers. So top auto + top candy and big one. Haven’t started to give it yet to the dosidos plant but soon I’ll start top bud. Also last week I added a bit of Terra Aquatica cal/mag to the feed for my dosidos plant, as I was told her leaves look like there is some cal deficiency.

Let me know if I missed any details.

Thanks 75F04499-38E3-4C11-9012-274AC7610F2B.jpegBBA8A50D-1F4F-4360-A5A2-AFCCA77F5BEE.jpeg6C5C6C70-ACF7-4542-A4D0-6F9329EB71E0.jpegAB710462-E510-4773-9354-0173F4A93444.jpeg5EECB83B-EEF6-44F5-A4C1-387ECBD17F14.jpegA265790B-1549-4E20-90F2-54D649528397.jpeg2C4F348F-AB54-4379-894F-7260F8A3C61D.jpeg

Tltr maybe if you posted a short version with the necessary details it might help.

The plant doesn't look to far off the mark imo.
 
Good point, was on a bit of a rant. Worried about the plants a bunch.

tl:dr - first time growing under a MarsHydro ts1000 lamp, not sure why the leaves look light green. Asking for any advice.
Light fixture is 27cm above the plant, running at 100%. Today I moved the light to 40cm.
Temps are around 23C, humidity is about 70%.
I actually noticed that some areas of the leaves are getting their lush green color back.
Any thoughts would be awesome :)

What medium are you using coco or soil?

If it's coco I can maybe help but in soil someone else will chip in.
If coco which nutrient and what ec?

I’m using a soil base from a company called Top Crop, the mix is called Complete Mix. It has some coconut fibre, peat and vegetable compost, from what I found online. It was basically sold to me with the premise that it’s full of nutrients and just need to add water for the first three weeks. Which is what I’ve done.

It looks to me like it needs a feed right enough but I don't grow in soil so ignore that.
@PadawanWarrior grows soil he might be able to help or know someone that can maybe help.
 
Awesome! Thanks for the tip. I will say, I’m still learning to feed correctly, there are times when I feel like I’m not giving enough and times when it’s overabundant. Sadly the country I live in has very minimal variety. The Top Crop company has a feeding chart but I cannot get all of the nutes they recommend to give. I have 4 out of the 5 (Top Auto, Top Candy, Big One and Top Bud) the last one I’m missing (Top Mass) only states to give 0.2ml per liter of water, hopefully plants aren’t missing to much.

More intense light will make them hungrier. You could raise the light a little and they won't eat as fast. Or feed them more, or both.

I've don't know anything about those nutes. But that girl looks hungry.

Very much appreciate the insight. Since my first plant was under a blurple, I had no idea they could get this hungry. I’ll give her a snack tomorrow morning for sure. And the light distancing is going to be a learning curve all over again. But I’m ecstatic with how quick the dosidos grew bud sights under the MarsHydro LED compared to the blurple I used before. Thankfully I have another gorilla glue seed from the same provider, going to plant her next and compare :D
 
So I’ve given the girl some extra food, moved the lamp higher up but now she’s looking like this

Any thoughts? Should I defoliate those leaves once she gets some more?
 
Dang, checked today and one of the leaves is just totally shriveled up and brown/yellow. However I’m noticing that other leaves that were once lime green are getting their color back. I guess she’s allocating resources to some leaves and drying up others.
Never expected such a drastic change when going from blurple to LED53BC34B0-8FB8-4205-8070-FA0C8C3B0923.jpeg

Oh and any idea what she’s missing to have these spots on her?
-edit- so started looking online at nutrient deficiency charts and from what I understood this is a classic nitrogen deficiency. Can someone confirm?
