Can't figure out what is causing this leaf discoloration, possibly using ACV to ph down?

16. How much experience do you have growing?

First time growing

One of the plants started getting very light green after vegging for almost 3 months and so I thought it could be the PH and started using apple cider vinegar to lower ph to 6.3 - 6.8. This started around 2 months ago.

The room temperature is around 74 - 77 during lights on and 66 - 69 during lights off. The RH is around 42-48%. I have a 4" inline exhaust in the room and three fans blowing air around, not rustling the plants that much, aimed at walls.

I gave them some worm castings and dry amendments a few weeks before flowering on top, but only like a 1/4 cup of amendments or less and not that many worm castings.

The plant #2, that looks the worst, has a 315 CMH about 22" above it.

The plant #1 has a 230 watt QB 96 on it, about 16" above it.

The first plant started developing some strange colors but since flipping it has gotten worse. And now the other plant #1 is starting to develop the same thing. I just cannot figure out what is wrong. I have searched a lot of images and posts trying to find someone with a similar issue but have been unable to find any answers for what is causing this.

If anyone has any insight, I would be very appreciative.
