Seedlings can get lanky and begin to fall over, you can find a way to support them.
What do you use for feed?. Are you watering to saturation but also clearing away the run off?. With how small those cups are you don't have much room for error. Over drying is a risk but also quicker to build up salts and/or shift ph if not enough run off. Poke a few more holes in the lower section of the cups if you haven't done it already.
If you have all that in order somebody will be able to recommend your specific nutrient strengths if they've used the line before.

thanks for feed back mate, not sure if theyve been getting the best drainage so ive cut better holes in a flushed them out with nothing but water put on a new clean tray and going to go check tomorrow afternoon see if the looking any better, been feeding using canna a n b nutes with sime cal mag not sure if ive been giving them too little or what! But yeah flushed any salt build up gona go check tomorrow if they oooking a little better might add a couple i.u’s. Not ml’s! Also thinkng about putting the light up to 600wvnow and lifting it up. I just would like to know what the brown dots are and yellow marks why they are also not all growing close to save rate?? Im stuck

What flavor of water? What nutrient strength? What pH?

Check your water supply online via post code. It will let you know if it's soft etc.
You don't want to flush coco with plain water in just about any situation. Are you sure the cana a+b you are using is coco specific?, it should be on the bottle and should auto ph. If memory serves me right cana a+b also has calcium and mag in it so you should not need any cal mag. Do check the label though.
If the above is all good then give them 1/3 strength (equal amounts of both) for a few days then step up to 1/2 if you see signs of them picking up vigor. Cuttings can go direct to half strength but they have more root/leaf mass to take it. Since you've flushed now, give them a little extra run off next time to get some more of the 1/3 strength solution back into the coco. Ironically, flush out the flush ;p.
Again this is going off memory, if anybody knows for sure do correct me.

No, your on the right path, we just need more of his parameters.

Amd thanks to all for your help meams alot.... i think my problem was not enough drainage the holes in the cups were to small so thats why i cut bigger ones to flush all salts out and any nutes trapped in bottom of cup.. kinda clean out, see how they do over next couple days? Should i raise ligh and put up to 600w yet as theres 20 and they alll couple in with few leaves orrrr? Was wven gona re pot the gg this weekend but thinking waiting another few days cause of the issues at hand hopefully once it clears up i can safely transpalnt
