Hi. I'm new to planted tanks, so maybe this sword is supposed to look like this...the veining and stem that runs down the middle of some leaves is much lighter than the rest of the leaf. Not all of my swords look like this, just two, and on those two not all the leaves look like that either. I have seen some charts on nutrient deficiencies, but none mention this. I just started using Seachem Excel & Comprehensive. Since I don't think they were like this when I got them I am thinking maybe I am missing some micros?? Maybe I should also add that my lighting is 1x20W T8 6700K Life Glo bulb.

any input will be appreciated. thanks

YOU CAN SEE IT ESPECIALLY IN THE FIRST PIC ON THE COUPLE OF LEAVES TO THE LEFT OF THE RUNNER STEM. IN THE SECOND PIC IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE ON THE LARGE LEAF IN THE BACK CENTER OF THE PIC (THE LEAF THAT ALSO HAS SOME PINHOLES ALONG THE STEM)
