help me diagnose my stunted growth plants!

I looked at my grow journal today and saw that i planted 5 seedlings on Aug 4th
These 5 plants are so small. the largest one is 6 inches.
Is this a sign of nutrient lock out? I flushed with tons of water, molasseses and a handful of salt all mixed today.
what do I do?
I think it's a error on my part of course, but these barney farm seeds suck ass i will never buy barneys seeds again and if they came free I'd probably throw them in my neighbors yard. straight junk!
Anyways what can I do to save these 5 plants and get them on the correct path of growing??? this screwed up my grow room as far as time management and using this space efficiently in my grow room. there pineapple kush critical kush and lemon kush. was very excited to smoke the critical and pineapple!

Come on Josh, you know the drill Pics and more details (medium, lights and placement, nutes, feeding and watering schedules, etc...) are needed to get any useful replies.

Good luck.

What lights do you have? How far away?

I'm sorry I'm a ass and knew better than that. I'm growing with ff ocean forest using jungle juice nutes a thousand watt hortilux hps the bulb is like 2 feet away because i have bigger plants in there and have to keep my lights high from the other plants. i feed and water every 2-3 days switch from nutes one time, to water the next, just alternate.

Without seeing your plants I would try putting those small plants on buckets to get them closer to the light.

Post some pics of your ladies so others can help diagnose.

I hope it is not the seeds as I just started my own grow with Barneys farm seeds (LSD) 8 days ago.


What timing is your lights at, 12/12?

I will soon, it's hard to take good pics with that 1000 watt hps light i did try the bucket thing, actually i put them on coffee cans but then my leaves started turning yellow. i just put them in 3 gallon pots 3 days ago because that's what i was thinking it was not enough dirt and container size but since i put them in 3 gallon pots i haven't noticed a difference either. ????
maybe i just need to wait a few more days. i also have the 5 mini's in there with 4 flowering plants 3 white widow/ skunk #1 and a jack herer. first time I'm growing jack herer but let me tell you that jack herer stands out from the other plants it just seems so strong and healthy hope it's great smoke.

what is the ph of the water/nutrient mix when you add it?

i keep my ph in between 6 to 6.5

pictures are needed i think.

Yeah pics please, and if you just transplanted 3 days ago, the plants probably just need a bit of time to recover. Give em a few more days and they should start showing their appreciation for the extra root room

Ok heres pics there not the greatest but they give you a idea.

Based on the little ones size i will go out on a limb and say over fertilizing. Wait till it gets light before next water and flush with pure water. I figure at that size its not able to use all the fertilizer you are adding.

Send better pics (close up of small ones as I could be way off).

Salt???????

If you salted the earth those plants are done for. I hope that was a mistype.

Barney farm seeds are the best and most potent seeds you can buy, hands down. You made so many mistakes, then threw the kitchen sink at it. Shocked them. It's a simple plant, a weed. It's resilient, it will survive. Flush with distilled water, wait a few days....it will be right as rain

Presumably/hopefully epsom salts?

Anyway...what temperature and humidity are you at? If those aren't wildly off, which would be my first guess...my second guess would be over watering. If they're growing that slow under 1000W then there's no chance they're drinking enough to dry out a good rich soil in 2-3 days....unless the soil is quite light of course..which it doesn't look like.

i've put epsom salt in water and fed it to my plants before with no problems. That was the first time they've seen salt and the salt was mixed with 6 gallons of water. ive had problems with barney's seeds before. the potency is good but quality is a hit n miss. on a good note since ive transferred them to 3 gal pots they have picked up in the past day. what about cal mag? any recommendations? i also lowered my light some. temp is at 81 a lil higher than i want im not sure about humidity but i run an exhaust fan the entire time the light is on and it doesn't feel bad.
thunderrod barneys seeds are good your right! myself and many others tho have had problems with their germination rate compared to other seed banks. the time before this i sprouted 18 out 19 seedlings you'll never get that many barney farms to germ. Thanks guys I will keep you posted and yes these things are resilient and i hope despite my mistakes they come out a success
