20 percent is to low for veg, they do not really look like there is anything wrong with them. if they were mine i wouldnt really do anything that im not already doing to them, they look fine good luck

The edges are drooping because of excess N in the plant's "diet". Too much N was metabolized, the lpant created excess tissue that has become to heavy to keep up, so it's drooping. Notice that the leaves seem a bit too dark green, while new growth (I suppose your avatar is a pic of this particular plant) is light green. This is an obvious indicator of N toxicity. In your case it's still mild, in more serious cases the veins start turning dark green too.

Flush and lower your nute concentration.

New leaves should never be a different color than old leaves, otherwise you know it's either a deficiency (iron, sulfur, copper, manganese) or an N toxicity.
