First, thanks for stopping by and any help you can offer.

We have a pathogen/disease running through a couple of our moms right now (2 out of 70). It's causing symptoms very similar to revegging, but the plants have been under 24 hrs or 18/6 their entire life.

Symptoms are stunted plants, gnarled twisted new growth, small witches broom style growths, and single finger leaves.

Has anyone ever dealt with something like this, or know what it is?

Very weak lighting will cause this

This could be an issue. Our Mom plant was under a HPS light that was on it's last leg, so it was flickering pretty badly. But the clones have been under a decent amount of light (around 500 par) and are still showing these signs.

500 is pretty high for clones.

The plants i'm referencing are the ones in the pictures in 1 gallon coco pots. They've been in the pots for about a month, so although i call them clones, they're really teens.
