Why might some of the leaves on my hurricane fern be discolored? I water every 4-5 days and it gets about about 9 or 10 hours of grow light. I know its kinda hard to see in the pictures but its more of a darker brown color on some leaves TIA :)

Brown spots and winter a common with humidity loving plants. I wouldn’t worry too much unless it continues to decline.

You might be overwatering. I have one and I water every 10+ days and it gets 12 hours under the grow lights. Are you checking the soil before watering?
