Should I be concerned?

These young plants (clones) have these weird bumpy leaves. Is this a disease if some kind? Should I keep going?

I am by far no authority on such things, but my first gut reaction from the photos, without any other information, is to first check and ensure your water PH is correct so the roots can suck-up as much as they want/need. I've never seen bumps like that on cannabis leaves, however I have seen them on tomatoes that had damage to their vascular system and combined with the PH being off, they were exhibiting symptoms looking very similar. Clawing of the leaves I've seen plenty on most any plant. Start with checking your water PH and your watering schedule. That's the best I've got without more info and just plain wild ass guessing, which you don't need.

Thanks. Not sure. Could be a root issue tho since this plant did grow kinda crooked. I wonder if I transplanted the clones before they had rooted enough in the cloner.

I wouldn't think that would be from the gnats, but I'd get rid of the gnats regardless. Mix a dilute spray solution of hydrogen peroxide and lightly spray for gnats. A proper solution won't hurt the plants. Since most available is generally 3% bottled, mix 4 tablespoons with a pint of water and mist lightly. That should help with the gnat issues. When I see bumps and irregularities part of my brain immediately wants to go inspects or disease as the cause. But, when I stop and think it through logically, go back to basics and not over think it, you'd be amazed at how often it's as simple as improper watering. I've been gardening for decades and it hasn't stopped me from messing-up the simplest thing.

I had similar abnormal growth in a few transplanted clones weeks ago, but after they settled in all the new growth came out normal. Never had it happen before but I chalked it up to the soil being too "hot". I had reused some potting soil from a prior grow and mixed in Dr earth organic ferts, some oyster shell flour, and very little garden lime. Plants are doing fine now but maybe it was just too much for the young roots coming from cloning in just peat pellets and water.

That could be! Yeah these are in Miracle Grow potting soil and I think it’s hot for seedlings.
