My legs are tiny from mid thigh down.

Is this just genetics? Or are there certain exercises I should be doing to hit the lower portion of my thigh?

My legs look extremely out of proportion because they are so much bigger up top than down low.

I hear front squat is good for lower thigh, should I do them?

Turnip thighs are a common consequence of back squat, they develop the upper thighs too much while not building the lower thighs, creating turnip-shaped thighs.

Vince gironda felt that sissy squats, Smith-machine squats done with the feet forward, and hack squats developed more aesthetically pleasing leg shape and mass while minimizing growth in the glutes, hips and waistline.

This. I also do slow leg extensions with toes pointed out to work the teardrop. I've noticed a lot of growth.

This happens if you half squat

You got it backwards.

Half-rep'ing squats only trains your legs near your knees.

Going low also hits the upper part of your legs including your ass and hamstring.

Same here.
I really like 1 & 1/2 rep leg ext. where you go full extension (hold contraction for 1 sec), then go halfway down and full extension again. Really annihilates the tear drops

Some people, like yourself, want big turnip thighs and huge ass which you'll get from back squat (especially low bar). While others want smaller more balanced legs with focus on shape instead of size, like pic related. Everyone has different goals.

no do you have klinefelter's? the Q-angle between you hips and knees is very feminine, which may be a sign of klinefelter's
