I got a flask of adductum today and some of the plants have white leaf margins. I've never seen this before, should I be concerned or will they green up later?

It looks like damage from Physan. Some growers use Physan 20 as disinfectant while flasking/deflasking the seedlings. If the Physan 20 mix is too strong, the spray will bleach out some of the leaves and leaving permanent marks on some leaves.... Your seedlings look strong and they should be fine....

Nutrient deficiency almost never happens in flask. That is my two cents for it.

Looking good so far, lost a couple of the underdeveloped stragglers that I expected to but the rest are out in my greenhouse now and have put on a cm or so of new growth already.
