How to make my back GROW

Ok so everyone who sees this pic says my lats are lagging.

Right now I do HST training, for back I do deadlifts, wide grip pull down, and seated rows.

I haven't been doing pull ups, but I can start, I have no way to weight them and I am close to 200lbs so adding weight will drop my reps to 5 or less!

What can I do to make my lats GROW! I need some size.

I would add Bent-Over Rows to the routine.

Make sure you add weight to each set in the gym. Do some Rest-Pause sets and make sure you squeeze your shoulder blades together during the rep.

imo drop the seated rows...bb rows or dumbbell rows are better

Yup.

Plus, drop the pulldowns for real pullups. Switch the grip up ever few workouts - palms facing each other, underhand, close grip, etc.
 
Basically what everyone else said. Get the machines out - so pullups and barbell rows. Get stronger in these movements and your dead. Make sure there is caloric surplus in your diet - if there isn't, you can't put on muscle. HST is a decent program so providing all this is in place you should make progress.
 
Ok so drop pulldowns, add pull ups. I'll do that, but I'm not sure how to incorporate that into my HST routine as I can't really weight them well and even if I could, if I add any weight I wont be able to do many.

So no more seated rows on the machine... barbel rows instead... can somenoe explain how those are done?

I've done one arm bent over dumbell rows, but since you do that with each arm separately it puts a big drain on my CNS and wipes me out. I like compound barbell exercises whenever possible.
