My plants are on week 4 for the first two weeks I fed them just phd water at 6.0 I started feeding nutes half strength a+b calmag and zenyem silica all shogun banded nutes on the second week I feed full nutes a+b but kept the rest half a few days later my plants started looking worse for wear my temps are 25 degrees rh is 70 I’ve got good air flow my led is a spider farmer sf7000 780w on 5% atm I turned it down thinking the light was to much on 25% for such young plants I’ve not overwatered I made that mistake on my first grow so was careful this time light schedule is 18/6 off any advice welcome
What could this be ? To much nitrogen I’m thinking

How much of that 1 litre is running off after feeding? You want to make sure that you are getting substantial runoff. Also, they are big enough that you probably want to be feeding daily at this point. To runoff. I would also drop the feed back down to half strength.
With coco, you need to feed to runoff a lot. You also want it to not dry back. The feed solution running through the media pulls fresh oxygen down to the roots. As coco dries back, it leaves the residual salts in the media and causes spikes and/or lockout.

I'm assuming by the OP, the plants were looking healthy up until you bumped the feed to 100%. A lot of people like to max out their feed and give em as much as they can handle. I'm in the camp that likes to keep them happy with what they need. I can get my money's worth at the Chinese buffet, but that doesn't mean I feel good afterwards. I like to think plants are similar.

Looks fine to me. I've never been able to pinpoint the "crinkled" growth but I've never found it to be a problem. That chewed up looking leaf could have just got impinged on another branch when growing or you knicked it when doing LST or defoliation or something
Looks fine
