lots of responses, it is one of three things. nitro deficiency because lack of nutes, 2 cal mag diff cuase by lack of cal mag thus blocking the nitro(very bad thing). i think its least likely this because it appears to be focused near the bottom of the plant like a traditional nitro diff 3 lack of light on those portions of plants.
your auto flower is a different beast all together and should not be used to compare to a regular plant. their needs are different. im not sure i understand why your growing auto flower either.its a known fact they yield less and are drastically less potent. its mostly used outdoors for norther summers or height constraints in ghetto grows. next time i recommend growing similar traditional strains for a more consistent crop. few things you also might consider. the fan on the floor is also pushing humidity up and can lead to powdery midlew, though it is a good idea to circulate floor level air took keep things fresh down there. also, your water why filtered typically tap water is just fine and does not have harmful levels of chlorine, choloramine could be an issue of there is a ton of it but probably not cuase once agian its not usually in high levels. also tap water has cal mag (hard water) it which your plants need. filtered water has not cal mag in it for the most part and can actually cause deficiencies similar to this if amendments aren't used. so why create more work for yourself? the one exception would be well water. it often has a high ppm making it hard to add nutes and ph balance. used to decholrinate my water and one day after some research realized wtf am i doing this for? stopped, and there is no perceivable difference in yeild or taste. that being said i live in Seattle and are water is far less than a hunderd ppm at any point in the year. check your water report or test the ppm your self with a meter. they are relatively inexpensive
