Cracks in the leaves aren't something I recognize as a nutrient
deficiency. It sounds more like mechanical damage. Light color may
indicate low nitrogen supply, but it isn't necessarily pathologic enough
to call it a deficiency. Keep in mind that H. difformis is a naturally
light-colored plant and that healthy submersed growth may be lighter
colored than healthy emersed growth.
