Exactly what nutes are you using?
Is the 20-20-20 a dry amendment?
If so, I can't help you.........I feed with liquid nutes.

Its liquid nutes yes, the nutes im using, presume 20-20-20, doesnt specifically say on the bottle, its a Part A and Part B i mix into my water before feeding. my mate who got the same, said use it for veg stage, then change to the other nutes he personally gave me for flower

I use fuck all, half of what the bottle says 1-2ml at most of each for 1-2L, and I water only when looks dry ontop and due for a water, like i did for when i grew tomatoes. never plain water, i have tank water/rain water, and mix nutes with that, my only option living bush

This is very fixable. Need to decide which medium you'll use to finish the grow when you up-pot it. I recommend soil for new growers, easy to work with and more forgiving than hydro. Soil, in the right pot size, doesnt require daily attention.

When you get the medium sorted out, then we can get you on the right path to finish. As @MickFoster said, coco and soil operate differently and have different requirements.

Take a pic of your nutrients, A&B so we can see exactly what you're working with

My clones and baby seedlings always do that greening usually depending on genetics. Even with a very stable feed of ph balanced nutrients in coco. It'll be fine just keep doin what your doing. Possibly increase your feed strength a tad meaning maybe 10-15% every 3-4 days and see what happens. Burnt Tips will usually indicate nutrient burn, the yellowing in the tips looks more like a Nitrogen deficiency to me.. Magnesium or Calcium deficiency will cause your leaves to have yellow striping through the middles of the leaves and your stems will be purple/red.

You probably need to use more than fuck all and then they'll look greener. Yellow is always a deficiency of something either being from under-feeding or PH being off in the rootzone. Yellowing can also happen from cold temperatures, say below 70 °F or 21 °C especially in VEG.
