What is happening to my plants?

This has been going on for a couple weeks now and I cannot figure it out. Initially I thought it was some sort of deficiency but I was told it could be toxicity from too many nutrients. I've let the soil dry and started watering without nutrients but the issue persists. Is it mold perhaps? Root lock?

Looks like overwatering. How often are you watering? Overwatering will cause deficiencies, toxicities, pH problems (gets very acidic), AND can cause root rot.

Those smaller the plants, the longer it will take to solve an over watering issue. This is because you don't have a large root mass to absorb all of the water too quickly. These will stay stunted for quite a bit until the issue gets fixed. Just lay off the watering for a bit and go easy and they should recover within a few weeks. Underwatering is easy enough to fix, but overwatering will cause a plethora of problems.

Some people may even recommend starting over, as it's going to take at least a couple of weeks for them to recover.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. It is fixable, but will take a while and starting over may be easier.

Tried magnesium? And Les watering? Looks worse than what it is IMO.

Can you give a run down on your feeding regiment? What are you growing in..soil,peat,coco,ect?

Growing in soil, watering them with Fox Farm Grow Big twice a week. They are 5 weeks old in these images.

Yeah ... More info needed to help.

Are you feeding based on the fox farm schedule or what you FEEL it needs. ?

So, what ever it is stated 2 weeks after sprout? Sounds like genetics or feed, water habits

Give us the entire room setup and what you were doing, please.
