Can anyone explain to me what these gold and black markings mean?

I have tried to diagnose the problem myself but since I'm a newbie I'd like some expertise on it before I attempt anything outrageous. This is a medical clone, Girl Scout Cookie strain. It's currently in a party cup under a couple CFL compact lights. The lights are cool and about 2 inches from the plant. Thanks!

Need more pics. Possibly, they need a transplant and some chow.

Are you sure they're not holes? Looks like something is eating the plant to me. Over watered too perhaps. You got a drainage hole in the cup?

Your leaves are curling down. Maybe a root problem, I think. What's your growing medium?
Sometimes GSC can be irritating in veg. I think it's best that you take some more pictures from the whole plant.

Thanks for the suggestions, they led me to figuring it out! I've been under watering it. As a newb I didn't know proper watering technique since I thought it was a no brainer. Thanks for the help!
