It looks like insect damage. Best to check the leaves with a microscope. If they're not immediately visible, that could be mites.

So maybe that's why she's camping out there. She found a food source.
she wasn’t camping outside the tent.. i found her outside the aprtment in the park

Last pic, center leaf almost looks like thrip damage. I would check underside of leaves every day. They can be saved if it is thrips as your still in veg. I just lost a whole grow due to heavy thrip and hemp russett mite damage during week 4 of flower. This whole week will be spent disinfecting and bleaching down 3 tents. When in doubt inspect leaves daily. Good luck with your grow, hopefully there is nothing wrong pest wise.
i think it’s just variegation, which is a genetic trait,
but it’s hard to tell with the flash...
also, cut down on the nitrogen.
they don’t need to be fed just yet.

The growing tips looks healthy.
Sounds like it's an indoor grow.
Do you know any garden supply stores that sell ladybugs ?
They usually sell them in the fridge, little cartons of 1500.
Sort of a price to pay indoors, you end up with dead ladybugs all over your stuff.
I guess that would be the Nuclear option.
If it is bugs, I had good results from Safer soap indoors.
I had better results with a Safer Soap dip tank. I bought concentrate & mixed it up in 5 gallon buckets, enough to dunk an entire plant.
One thing about soap solutions on the leaves. You have to let them dry, before you put it back in the light.
Otherwise the plant has trouble breathing while it is trying to do photosynthesis, which can hurt or kill the plant.

That last set of pix = Thrips. Absolutely thrips.
I'll eat my hat if not
Doesn't matter that you carried the lady bug in or not, it will only stay if it has a food source.
Those thrips will keep it fed momentarily, but IME that 1 insect will not eliminate your garden issue. js
