Need help with Leaf Diagnosis - should I be concerned?

Got some clones last weekend and they seem to be doing alright so far although they haven't really taken off. A few of the leafs seem to have an odd texture to them so I've included some pictures if anyone could help me out.

Running a DWC 400w MH light(although I just turned it up to 600). pH is at 5.8 for the majority of the time. nutes are floraduo + Calimagic around 500 ppm currently. The temps run 76 during the light and 68 during the night. Am I adding in the nutes too quickly? I'm using RO water and there was a slight incident when I first got them where they bathed in low pH water for a few more hours than I'd like to admit. I fixed that though and they only appeared to have minor pH burns. I also accidentally added an organic product but I controlled the pH during and swapped the water the next day. The first two are of the same plant. Am I just being overzealous in keeping watch or could this turn into a problem? Thanks for any advice/help.

Dude those clones are burning up with way too much light and nute's.I wouldnt even have them under 400watt mh.A T-5 would be plenty of light for the first month,and nutes i wouldnt go over 250-300 ppm for the first month either.Heck i would not give them anything the first few weeks till roots are established.I would flush each plant with a gal of plain water.Did you clone directly in that medium or are they in a rockwool cube below.good luck.

In addition to what's been said, you might consider eliminating your dark cycle altogether. The clone with the 3-fingered leaves, in particular, looks like it needs 24 hours of light for a couple weeks to start vegging.

Hey,
You have the light to close. As well as it looks like you have possible direct fan on the plants? Try misting plant leaves twice daily, but make sure not to mist to where there is beads of water on the leaves because it will magnify and burn them. I am not thinking over nutes I am thinking under watering, Too close to light, And Possibly to much direct airflow
