can anyone tell me why my bottom leaves are looking how they look, just doesn't seem right? But I was thinking maby my lights are up to bright I have the dimable par450 with white&blue on80% an the red on 20%. The newer leaves look really green and healthy and growing at a nice pace. I'm jus not sure, am I missing something?

It looks healthy besides the fading of the leaves. How far away is your light, and what's the actual wattage?
You may need to raise the light some.
Could also be that little ass plant in a big ass pot.

What does small plant big pot have to do with anything? It's still a baby and it's a autoflower.

What's your medium? How often do you water? Have you fed it yet?

Your container is too big for that little seedling. You should water very slowly and mostly around the edges of the pot until you get runoff (and DISCARD the runoff), so roots can grow into the container in search for water. You should also wait until the top inch of your soil feels completely dry to the touch before next watering. This way oxygen will penetrate into the soil and you won't over saturate the medium.

Totally normal and not an issue at all. I'm guessing you have been misting them and when the water dries up that's left behind. It's usually just from the minerals left behind from the water.

I have a viparspectra par 450... Over 2 northern light autos. I was thinking about buying a cob led light for some added weight at around flowering. Do you think a cob led light would beneficial?

Honestly, I would stick with the vipar for this run, see what it can do, then gauge whether or not you want to take the plunge into cobs.
You will be able to pull a decent harvest with your light.
But, yes, adding the cob would definitely boost your results.
