For some reason I just can't get my plants to grow. They are all miniture versions of what they should be. this plant is 1 month old and is only 6 inches tall. I just can't get it to grow. And it's not just this one it's all of my crop.

What is your pH, your soil medium and temps and humidity? What are you feeding it?
Edit. Is there a light above it? What is the bright light in the background of the pics?
 
Yes, we need all that info Bluey said. Just about everything can cause stunted growth. From the pics it looks like you're growing in dirt from your driveway. Are those rocks? Are you reusing soil from your last grow... those looked stunted too. You need to change something that you're doing but you don't say what you're doing, only the results.

Are you misting these seedling? At this stage they still need high humidity. And light, fluffy soil for root growth. I think they should be getting some nutes from the soil and they aren't. Maybe too hot or too cold?
 
And sometimes the seeds just aren’t all the same.
These four seedlings are the same seeds from the same pack with the same exact care.
They are about 1 month old and look at how much smaller the one is

I have to admit all I've been giving them is water. If I replant with new dirt will that turn this nightmare around? Or is it too late and I just need to start all over again.
 
Great! My Ph meter is broken. I'm going to use vinegar water to flush these plants. If that doesn't work I don't know what to do.
 
Try one half teaspoons vinegar per gallon. Some people say vinegar is only to be used in emergencies. You should get the right stuff. I wouldn't replant but get some grow nutes, Use 1/4 to 1/2 whatever the nutes bottle. says.

Me myself and I use sulfuric acid to PH down with, far more stable than vinegar, lemon juice etc. You will need a meter or test strips to do this job. Peat moss could be cut into the soil as it has a PH of ~3.5, and sulfur can be added as a PH down buffer (not to much and it is not fast acting).
 
I'm going to try bath salts baking soda and ammonia.I flushed them with vinegar and water. Unfortunately my Ph meter is broken. I'm going to have to wing it, but I have a pretty good idea of the measurements. 1 tablespoon epson salt 1 teaspoon baking soda and just a smidge of ammonia. I'll have to wait until they water down a little bit they are pretty wet from the flush.
 
I put 1/2 cup white vinegar to a gallon of water and my reading is 8.8! This is ridiculous. and yes my meter is working. Tap water comes in at 8.4.nevermind this thing is broken.
 
OK the meter is in the trash. I have no way of checking the Ph, but I flushed with water and vinegar and gave them nutes.I guess now I just have to wait and see.
 
Hey everyone! Thank you each and all for your stellar comments! Y'all are the best! OK, let me get to it. I did take your advice and was able to save these little beauties. Here they are ready to harvest! They never got very big, but they did grow. Little by little they got stronger and taller. They even managed to produce a few nice buds, here are the pics. Once again... thank you to each one who took the time to help this old hippie out! Well, shoot! It won't let me post the pics. Any way they did finally grow up and I am going to enjoy them just as much as their big cousins!

The cheap PH meters just do not last. I have had many. Rinsing it after use and keeping the bulb moist during storage with distilled water with the cover on will go a long way to extend the life. Calibrating is easy once you do it a couple of times. I finally got the Apera PH20 a few years back. It is the low end of good ph meters and worth every penny. Next to a high-quality light, I feel the ph meter is the next most important thing for us old hippies to have in our grow room. I really wish you the best Over!

edit: And they dont look very bad at all.
