Any ideas what the issue is? Have the issue on one Northern light and on one Dance World. The leaves are getting partly light green and have some brown spots. See Last two photos I added.

It's good to remember that plants look paler under grow lights than they are in reality. However, if it's trending in that direction, it still means you should react to it and adjust your fertilization formula accordingly. You might be locking things out with too much P. This would cause chlorosis in new growth and interfere with K which causes the damage around the serated tips. Even though you have reduced fertilization lately, your ferts look like the type that slow-release due to need for microbes to break them down... so even though you reduced what you are adding to the soil, there's a buildup prior of 'inventory' for microbes to work on and continue to provide plant-available nutes around the roots. with soil and your fertilization methods, it'll take some guessing and trial and error. E.g. this time i'd take note of when you started to reduce and maybe do that 1 week sooner. or take 10% off what you fed each cweek prior etc... some sort of adjustment that adds up to a bit less concentration in the substrate by this point in the grow. in the end there is not enough infor to be confident. diagnosing from leaf symptoms alone is not 100% accurate. Symptoms are not discrete. pH and nute lockout are always possible too. the reason i didn't go with K-deficiency is that there is little to no interveinal chlorosis of mid and lower leaves. High P can cause issues with Ca too, which is potentially one of the symptoms seen too.

A balanced supply of macro and micronutrients is essential for the health and growth of the plant. The crucial macronutrients include nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K). These elements are fundamental for various biological processes in the plant and must be supplied in different quantities, depending on the specific growth phase in which the plant is located. Maybe your Compo Complete fertilizer is simply dosed incorrectly? For example, I only use this fertilizer for my houseplants, but cannabis plants have completely different needs.

This line should have been at the end of my answer: Try one thing... see how it plays out. if it works, amend notes for next time. if not, cross it off the list and try a different fix next grow. once you start trying multuiple things you never know what the solution is and what problems you exacerbated with the wrong fix, lol.
