Quantum board or normal plant?

So far things have been going well on my two plants.

i have them under a hlg 260 running at approx 150 watts ( guesstimation from turning the power knob )

while the plants are under the quantum board it looks like theres many little yellow spots in between the leaf veins.
but when i take them out of the tent, its not halfway as noticeable.

this is my first grow so trying to just get a baseline on whether the plants are ok, or whether this is the start of a defiency.

here are the pics UNDER NORMAL LIGHT in my bathroom


this is one of the BOTTOM fan leaves





bottom fan leaf of other plant








kind of hard to notice in the picture, but the yellowish “streaks” in between the leaf veins







other bottom fan leaf






another bottom fan leaf








see the yellowish streaks dots on leaves on the left




middle fan leaf





- so it looks like its affecting the lower leaves first

- is it just me or does the quantum board magnify leaf issues?

- i am assuming its some kind of defiency?

any help, thoughts, advice, appreciated

ask me any questions so we can figure out more anout it.

lower leaves are simply wilting because it's a waste of the plants energy. i wouldn't stress too much about it, but if it continues to upper growth then it's something to worry about. the leaf isn't getting as much sunlight, so the plant assumes it's not gonna get more and thinks its useless, killing off the leaf.
what's happening has nothing to do with your QB.
the dots look like some time of pest. mites, maybe thrips.
edit - the new growth will always be more lime green/yellow

i fpund a spider on one of my plants the other day. i left him there

i had fungus gnats, i used MICROBE LIFT once, and they stopped appearing.

i have googled about thrips and or wondered about mites, is there any definitive way to tell if i have them? i looked under all (or most) of the leaves and have not seen any type of bugs or eggs ( that i can see)

i have a 60x loupe, also have not found any pests with it, could the spots be some type of deficiency or the start of one maybe?

im not too worried about it, the plant is definitely growing at least a node a day now, so seems to be very healthy, i just would like to get a hold of whatever the problem is before it may or may not get worse.

when i feed normal tap water, i ph the water to 6.2-6.3 ish range

when i use nutes i do not adjust the ph at all now, as recomended by people on here. bio canna says specifically to not ph the nutrient solution anyways, the nutes are usually 5.9-6.0 ph when i check before feeding.
any ideas from the new info above?

bio canna nutes are very light to begin with
bio vege is 4-2-3 if i rmeber correctly
