I should have thought about some of the aforementioned issues but didn't. I moved the bigger plants to the other end and the shorter plants nearest the fan but moved the plants and lights just a little further away. It seems the temps are under better control. It is night but turning the ac and having the veg tent exhaust fan offer an assist seem to be helping.
I took clones of Orange Sherbet, OG Kush CBD, and Blueberry (again). My technique this time was a bit different. I added mycorrhiza and a little rooting hormone to the water for soaking the cuttings. I soaked them a short time (several minutes) then dipped in rooting gel then into the dixie cup which had mycorrhiza in it then once the soil was compacted I watered with the enhanced water I soaked them in earlier. This is just something I decided to try.
Pics of the new arrangements and of the windburn and possibly heat damage to Orange Sherbet and Northern Lights:

Thats not Wind burn mate, its damaging leaves.Are you feeding nutes too high maybe. If thats coco, flush ph 5.5 water now. Something is not right.
Are they way lighter in weigh than the others, the damaged plants.
Looks like nute burn or root problem.

Those are the only two affected. I'm in super soil - no nutes. Several days earlier had sprayed with neem/safer. A couple days before had watered with mycorrhiza and switched to the new tent. Temps reached 91 degrees in there yesterday. The fan seemed to be hitting them pretty hard so that's why I thought that.
He’s in a super soil.
I don’t see flushing super soil being a good thing to do.
I was just looking and to me it doesn’t look like wind burn but light burn.

I did raise the light in there as it seemed too close as well. It seems like everything was off in that tent to begin with.
Hey Al, just my two cents. Which you already corrected. The lights being too close and temps. Also, really check to make sure they dry out a little between waterings. They should bounce back in no time.
Congrats on Bama. Im a big Gator Fan..lol

Now that the lights are back on I raised the lights again and moved the one closest to them a bit toward the middle of the tent and away from them. I think you’re right on the water. I went too soon. The rest seem to be fine but orange Sherbet and Northern Lights (front and rear respectively) are struggling a bit.
Lights, heat, and overwatering are potential issues here.
Thoughts?

The curling of the fan leaves is an indication of heat stress imo. Raising the light and try keeping the temps in the 70's the best you can. I usually takes me 5/6 days in supersoil for watering in a 10 gallon. If I water her before then she will slap me..lol

Another note:
I had trays under the three larger plants to include the two with troubles to catch excess water. Not much in there but removed them to increase airflow at the bottom of the smart bags and help them dry out a little faster. They are heavy and wet now.

I agree with @Sparkey224
Those "canoeing" leaves are usually an indication of heat stress-is that plant getting any airflow from your fan? -if not,you may need to direct a little more air in it's direction...
In the pics,it doesn't really look like the lights are too close,so I'm thinking the air temp must be a little high.
It's good that they're wet-they need it in the heat-watering rules change a little in high heat,they may need quite a bit more than usual,at least temporarily.

That’s actually partly why I watered. The tent temp got to 91 when the ac went out. I have a gremlin flipping the switch at the surge protector.

And if it helps I can see leaves moving in the “wind” on every plant.
That should be all you need-hopefully that gremlin leaves the a/c alone today!

Thanks for the help, everyone.
We'll forgive you for that since you beat Miami.
I hope. I set up a large tray so that anything coming by might go around or knock it over. Not sure what's going on there.

Hey Al - definitely the heat event I reckon! Did you say you have cloth pots/smart bags straight onto drip tray or floor? I’d advise getting some cake/biscuit cooling trays or oven racks or trivets of some kind to put underneath so that the bottom of the pot/bag is not sitting in water, they don’t like that. It doesnt take much to lift it up just enough to lessen any ‘wet feet’ problem, if there is one. That’s one situation that can make it look like an overwatering problem when you’re not actually overwatering.
Getting very exciting now, the next part happens fast...

I have/had them sitting on casters with wheels but did remove the trays as they impede airflow.

Hey Al I use these use these under my fabric pots.
They are called pot elevators I put them in 14 inch saucers to catch the run off. The runoff collects in the saucers and evaporates by the time I water again. Keeps my pots out of the runoff so I don't overwater and allows for airflow all around the pot.
If those taco leaves are just near the top it's light stress if it is all over the plant it's heat stress.
Congrats on the flip Al can't wait to see those flowers.

Hey @N420 thanks for posting that - they look great!
I didn’t think I’d seen any flat on the floor Ala, so that’s good... no wet feet. The grow bags and cloth pots are interesting. Some folks swear by them and have great success and others hate ‘em or have all sorts of problems. It’s a curious phenomenon. I tried one once and didn’t care for it much - I don’t like hoe much the root ball gets disturbed when I move the pots, that doesn’t happen so much in hard pots. But Shed schlepps his around twice a day and still grows great plants so, go figure. Are you finding any preferred option between the 2 yet?
