PH imbalance or Nutrient Burn?

So I gave these a small feeding yesterday, they're almost 3 weeks from 1st sprout and in 5 gallon bags, they each got about 1.5l of water with 1/20 parts of Marphyl and a quarter of the recommended dose of BigBud, checked on them later on in the afternoon and they have these markings.

Did I mess up the ph or is that nutrient burn?
I made certain what I gave the plants was about 6.2ph.

Why are you feeding Big Bud? Read the label on the bottle and heed the advice.

Medium? More grow details
Just standard miracle grow potting soil with some of the above mentioned nutrients (mostly marphyl twice and Dutch science humates twice.)

Kept at a steady 77-83 temp with rh from about 50 to 60. Using a 250w hps light about 16 inches away

I must've messed up a measurement. But is it anything to be concerned about long term?
Not that it makes a difference with your issue exactly, but I measure out and pour my nutes into a 5-gal rainwater bucket (or distilled water) then pour into soda bottles with screw top lid. I have like 20 bottles of nutes and water and when I'm ready to feed and water, I grab a bottle and pour. You can get these pour spouts from Amazon that screw onto your soda bottle. That way, you don't have to measure each time you feed. If you do like hotrodharley said and start with a little less than what it calls for, you can't go wrong.

Your plant looks heat stressed to me on top of the nutes issue.
I'm hoping that will go away in the next few days. Up until 2 days ago I had the air just being pulled out and pumped into the neighboring room but now its directed to go right outside the house. So hopefully now that its around 77 most of the time I hope it will recover.

How was the EC in that same runoff?
I will be able to answer that as soon as I get my Amazon shipment tomorrow, lol.

So I had a 250w hps bulb about 16" away but I put the 600w hps in (note that I did this after any of the aforementioned issues. So should my main goal at the moment be getting that light at a nice height where the plants aren't stretching but also aren't getting upwards of 83 degrees?
