Unusual tan spots on Pothos (neon)

Trying to figure out what these marks are from on my neon pothos: http://imgur.com/gallery/35hu6jK(sorry, I don't see any way to add a photo directly to this post)They're only on the top of the leaves. No difference in texture. Seems to be increasing gradually over time on the older leaves, but hasn't caused any foliage death. Definitely no pests. No direct sun, it lives off a mild grow light. I water every 2-3 weeks whenever it starts getting droopy (the soil at that point is bone dry all the way to the bottom) (yet still I get a yellowed leaf a couple days after almost every watering). Pot has good drainage and the soil + is very well draining (promix hp and perlite, totally dry within a week). New growth is mostly perfect. All the photos of brown spots on Pothos online don't look like this so I'm stumped.

in case you come back in the future.. try using the PHOTO icon below the box you type in.. to post a pic in a reply ... practice here ...

did you change the light.. or the height.. etc ....

pathos is one of the few i never even worried about supplemental light ... and grow some of mine very far from a window .... which makes me wonder if its the light ... it seems that the marks only on the top of the leaf is also indicative ...

could we have a pic of the whole plant ...

i water like you do.. so i dont think thats an issue ...

anything beyond the light issue.. would affects the leaf top thru bottom ...

Here's the whole plant. I gave a grow light because it's in a dark corner and a couple leaves had started reverting. I use the same bulb for my calatheas, fittonia and maranta so I'd be a little surprised if it was too much for a pothos? Idk though.
