The white spikes are the leaf "veins" that are a bit like a skeleton, but the rest of the leaf has not "fleshed"" out, hence why the veins/spikes stick out. This happens from time to time for whatever reason and I find that the second set of leaves are usually fine, - if not, I toss them. It is not a light or nutrien/pH problem, just a slight weirdo seed. As we all know, not all seeds make it and not all seeds are perfect either.

You broke it. reduce light check pH etc... make sure no unintended stress from environment. find out soon enough if it grows out of it. pop another just in case? i find that the retarded ones that don't grow out of it early on are lesser plants at the end too. the pic is a bit blurry. is it possibly singed or deformed leaf tip? Maybe, an early root wrapping aound some amendment to soil? ... normally not an issue with larger root mass.... if not genetic.
