Concerns over possible leaf issues.

Hello all! I've been having some issues with my first grow. I was hoping I could get some insight as I'm extremely confused.

I've attached photos of the issue for reference. Please find my grow details below:

I have noticed some abnormalities with my plant's leaves. As shown in the photos, some leaves show signs of upwards cupping, some show slight clawing and most old growth shows wrinkles. Growth details below:

Strain: Tropicana Cookies Purple

Media: Coco Coir with Perlite - 50/50 in a tent. Currently in a 1 gallon fabric pot, will be placed in a 5 gallon for it's final container.

Age: 22 days from germination.

Environment: 70F at night, 78-82F during the day. 60-75% Humidity.

Lights: Two Spider Farmer SF1000 in series at around 18 inches. Schedule is from 3PM to 9AM for 18 hours of light, and from 9AM to 3PM, 6 hours of darkness. Measured light was 600 PPFD before I dimmed the lights at the tip of the canopy near new growth about 20%, now sitting at 400PPFD (measured with Photone) after the 20% reduction.

Fert: Inflow at 1300EC (microsiemens), runoff at 1358. 6.0 - 6.1 pH. Running GH Trio with supplements such as Armor SI, Cal/Mag, RootStarter, Yucca Powder and Diamond Nector. Using the cocoforcannabis feed chart located here: How to Mix Nutrients . Currently doing "Mid Veg". Fed twice a day, once in the morning about 1 hour and a half before lights off at 7:30AM, and again 3 hours after lights on at about 6/7PM, about 450-600ml/CC of fert water.

I've finished reading the Plant Moisture Stress thread, and I'm pretty convinced this is part of the problem I'm having, so I've decided to reduce/dim my lights about 20% (which should resolve any light stress/temperature problems), I've reduced the humidity to 58% as well. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm all ears. The plant is growing vigorously. So much in fact that I've started seeing roots breach it's second container, it's fully ready to go into its final pot tonight, but I'm worried about its currently health and don't want to move it if it's having issues. But I'm also aware that being rootbound can cause this as well, and if she just needs to be moved, I wanna do it as soon as possible.

EDIT: Missing details.

Here is a picture from it today after seeing it for the first time since lights out. I apologize for not having a yellow tinge this time around. First couple of pictures were taken with the room light on as well as the grow lights; room light is far more yellow. It's dropping pretty heavily in this photo.

You're starting with too many supplements IMO. You only need the Trio and possibly CalMag (depending on your water). You can even run just the Micro and Bloom using the Lucas method and grow some killer stuff.

I'm not sure what you mean. If I was using too many, I'd see some form of toxicity or deficiency from lockout, right?

As for CalMag, I'm growing in Coco. I was under the impression that it was absolutely critical, even with double buffered coco coir.

I went ahead and did the transplant, and now the plant is looking worse. I don't think moving helped it. I'm getting a bit desperate at this point as the plant doesn't look long for this world. Any help would be appreciated please. I've been to multiple forums and websites, and I still haven't had any help.

I have other seeds, but if this is going to continue happening, then I may have been better just flushing my money down the drain.
