Would really help to have some pics. If you think you have a nute lockout and burn then flushing is the common remedy. How do your roots look? What are you feeding them? Your pH is a little high for me.
I had an LSD do the same thing to me when it got about a foot tall also. I saved it by taking as many cuttings as I could. Now the LSD still looks like crap and the cuttings are growing like crazy. I proved to myself that starting from scratch takes far less time than trying to recover a plant that seems to be against you.

Yeah, don't clone it. It does look like it needs Mg. Epsom salt is a cheap way to add Mg but I haven't tried it because I don't like the Na (Sodium) that goes with it. I won't say for sure without knowing what nutes you're using. Also, your 6.2 pH will help to absorb Mg but a lower pH will help your nutrient burn, you're between a rock and a hard place with that one.

looks like a plethora of different issues. PH, overnute, possible deficiency. I can't tell if you have an mg deficiency from the pics. Looking at this on my laptop and the pics are rendering kind of dark on my screen. There are charts out there that show the different def. and list their symptoms. You might wanna try looking there to see if you can diagnose what may be the issue yourself. http://www.ganjaguerrilla.net/ Has a bunch of images you can use to compare.


You should probably flush for a day or two using plain PH'd water. Then mix your nutes back in (keep your ppm low like 300-400) and keep your ph between 5.5-5.8 for vegging 6.2-6.5 for flowering. I had a similar problem with my first dwc. My water seemed to be the issue with mine. I bought an RO system and started using RO water + calmag so I could have a more definite idea of what was in my water to start off with. Ever since doing that I have never had another lockout or deficiency problem. Hopefully someone with a little more experience in troubleshooting plants will come in and can give you a better answer on why the plants look the way they do.

Yes, she should be a little bigger at 20 days. The roots seem to be fine for the size of the plant. It might be moisture stress. Try lowering your water till it barely touches the bottom of the net cup. What nutes are you using?
