Ok theres only SO many things that can be groing wrong with seedlings at this age... and ive done everything how i should have but i cant quite figar this out... its my first grow.

I think i have narrowed it down, and would like some info, sorry pics cant be present.

I have 7 seedlings that are approximatly 14 days old, however they are nowhere the size of most 14 day old plants i see on here, and the ones on this site that are that size either have a defecency, or crappy growlights/setup.

I am running a 400W MH Grow light (added orange spectrum) Jiffy seedling starting soil half perlite, Watering is all fine, 73-85F, normal humidity, EVERYTHING i can think of is standard or above average, besides a few things ill get too later. I spent $300 on stuff for my first grow and i see people with some MG potting soil and a CFL kicking my plants ass.

Now onto the plant problems.

Ok the main problems i am noticing are
1. Yellowing older leafes that too me greatly resemble MG def.
2. Stunting (i think) They are def smaller than most, and i know some plants are just slow growers, but trust me i think they arnt where they should be at this age.

Everything i did right and the onlything i can think of are
1. I didnt flush the seedling soil this MAY be the problem but if it is i think it woulda been flushed outa there by now. Unlikely
2.Superthrive during first 3 days of growth... Yes i may have burned them in the begging but not much, and if i did they were over that and im not 2 sure this is the caus but we should keep our options open.

3.I think this is it guys... I cant really cheak my soil PH, but the Jiffy soil (peat bassed) Did have dolomite lime from the factory to adjust PH, however i added a little lime just incase they didnt get enogh. The closest i can come too testing PH is the water is about 7.5 and the runoff is somwhere far below 6.8 my testers at the time wouldent test below 6.8 so i am not sure how far below.

To try and fix this problem today i added 1/2 tsp of epsomsalt to some water and foiler sprayed the leaves 1-2 times a day, and also added 1 tsp of dolomite lime to 1 quart water and waterd them with that...Thinking that CA diffecency might show itsself as MG def. and at this age i dont think they should have MG def.

Anyways its 2 early 2 tell, but should this clear it up? I cant think of any other problem it may be besides this. I really want to speed up the plants and they are just growing super slow...
