Your pictures aren't loading but we need a little more information. If you're using 20-20-20 your problem is most likely overfeeding. Are you feeding with every watering? You might also want to dilute that down to 10-10-10 and use in a feed, water, water regimen.

Pot size? Lights? Medium? Strain? Airflow? Specific nutrient brand?

Edit: Your pictures loaded. Looks like they've been overfed.

Berry berry crispy from over feeding. Whats the dirt theyre in? If its organic you no need to feed for at least three weeks usually. Dirt grows plants, not nutrients ;)

Whats the grow medium? If its an organic potting soil remember the soil will grow the plants, not fertilizer. New plants need no food in most organic blends for three weeks. Ppm meters are reall handy for beginners and pros alike. Nitrogen usually causes the burn and the fish you used is super high and the 202020 is high all around. Babies need only minimal fertilizer and if you were feeding full strength doses chances are very good youve overdone it. Regardless a flush is needed so bring her over to the bathtub and run two to three times the container size of water through her and make sure she gets nice and dry before the next watering. Good luck.

Almost zero, theres still organic matter in the soil which is going to be broken down by the plant and then consumed. The ppm your flushing out is the fertilizer "salts" that youve added. Since organic potting soil has enough nutrients contained in its organic resources to kkep the plant going for usually three weeks you shouldnt have to feed for a while. Ppm meters are usually for adding to the soil, some guys just use them to see whats coming out as well as going in. The most important thing to remember from all this is that the soil grows the plant, not the nutrients you add by themselves. So its fine to water, water, feed if your in soil, not feed,feed,feed,water.

Shit man, i dont mean to sound like a dick so dont take it like that but thyre small for thier age, i just figured from the height of them they were around 3 weeks. Stunted growth is usually from overwatering. I wait until my pot is light in my hand, like when it feels like the dirt is totally dry when i pick it up. My plants in quart sized containers at six weeks are usually 16-18 inches tall. Letting the plant dry out lets oxygen get to the rootzone which the plant loves. Anyway, im delirious, and just about to caller a night. Ttyl.
