I think its over fed something.. more info in what youre watering it, ph, and whats in the soil. is it only the one? and by better pictures they meant under white light..
This is something I've never seen before. I think it's a combination of giving them nutrients (even though only a quarter dose) too soon and we transplanted a few others prematurely. We've actually transplanted back into smaller containers and we're going to try to flush whatever nutes there is out of the soil.
Any possibility this could also be from spraying them with water too much? Maybe the water sitting on the leaves underneath the intense light is messing with them?

This is an IRON deficiency, as mentioned above, it is not seen very often.
It is most likely not due to PH being off as iron (Fe) doesn't lock up to about a PH of 8.0 or above.
As subject plants are barely entering the third leaf set, soil depletion has not occurred by this stage.Your soil will have been deficient in iron and now requires an Fe supplement. Fe should be through the use of iron chelate (FeEDTA) Use as directed in nutrient solution with watering. When these get transplanted add some to the new medium and mix in well before transplanting to larger container. In addition a 10% strength foliar feeding will bring about normal growth sooner.
Iron chelate is available at better garden and hydro stores and is inexpensive....

If it was too intense of light I am not sure the symptoms would of started in the veins.
I pose this to you as a question and curious of your thoughts....
I seen this 20 years ago and I am sure it turned out to be an iron deficiencies if memory serves me correctly. As always I could be wrong though.

How about you show us the plant NOT under the led...you know like under a normal light or are all the lights in your house burple led lights...lol come on dude.
I'm almost positive on the iron deficiency now I have to ask should I start by giving them more than a half dose of cal-mag? I've been giving 2 ml per gallon.
Or
Should I go straight to buying something specific containing iron?

I would use the iron chelate as mentioned above. Under $5.00 you will have a 5 year supply and it on a molecular level will work most effectively.
