I’ve seen some other posts and read a little bit about issues with lower leaves during veg and it seems it’s often either a nutrient issue or lack of light. I have 4 plants right now (3 x blue dream, 1 x amnesia haze) just under 4 x weeks in veg (under 600W LED) but I topped them 3 days ago so I’m assuming to see the growth slow significantly until they heal (my first time trying topping actually).
Take a look at these pics and let me know what you think as far as potential causes and solutions (pics below). I planted seedlings in Fox Farms Ocean Forest potting soil just shy of 4 x weeks ago but have not yet added supplemental nutrients (I was actually debating whether to buy Fox Farms Nutrient Trio or look to go all organic with guano, casings, etc. - but that's a question for another post).
All 4 plants look pretty healthy except for the one blue dream that looks healthy up top and has some messed up leaves at the very bottom (see pics). I lowered my 600w mars hydro led to 20" now (from 24" too so hopefully that helps with light penetration).
Healthy looking tops:

Same plant as pic above but here are lower node leaves. Discoloration just on these lower leaves:

Same plant as above - Lower leaves looking awful:
