it can happen overnight or over a day or two, pictures would help alot what does it look like? are the tips of leaves yellow? or most of the leaf? 20-20-20 is abit strong how old/big are they

How do you know how strong the 20-20-20 is?
He fed at 1/4 strength.
Explain your logic.

First Nute burn usually does happen rather quickly buuuuut usually doesn't cause yellowing, second defs are already set into motion way before the plant shows the signs of it

thats why i was asking how big they were, if there only baby's then even quarter strength is to much for them + he said roughly quarter strength so he must not of measured so in reality it could be closer to half, also he said my little girl which imply s it is only a baby, + if he doesn't know what nute burn looks like then my logic is he gave it to much of the 20-20-20, y don't you try and advise him instead of asking me?

I was just trying to figure out why you thought 20-20-20 was strong. I thought maybe you have used it before and have some knowledge about it..

its proberly because its to young/small and carnt handle the nutes yet, i would leave the nutes alone untill shes abit older/taller,
