Not going to learn by doing the same old thing, and maybe you aren't ready for grafting or air layering but I am. Were you one of the people saying i'd be lucky if I got close to a lb on my first grow indoors with one plant, one guy said like half a lb lmfao....got 713g trimmed and dried

this is what the rating says?.

The label says 300W chip power ... that's the maximum amount of power the chips are rated for by their mfr... sadly it has nothing to so with the actual wattage the unit draws at the wall. Based on other similar fixtures, I'd guess you're lucky of you're pulling 100W.
The good news is that for the next couple of weeks it won't matter too much because autos need to root solidly before they start to really start their upper growth.

OK - you're enthusiastic and decided WTF "I'll just go for it". It's your first grow and it's understandable, but now's the time for a dose of reality.
Autos and photos don't really belong together unless the photos are in veg. Autos do best with an 18/6 or 20/4 light cycle throughout their grow cycle. Photos need a minimum of 16hrs of light (some will tolerate less but 16 is safe) while in veg and no more than 14 hrs of light a day when in flower.
So your choices are
1) Light deprive your autos and flower your photos on a 12/12 or 13/11 light schedule
2) If the afghan autos are a short cycle strain (8-9 weeks seed to harvest) keep your photos in veg at 18/6 until the autos are done and then flower the photos at 12/12.
3) Keep one or the other and grow them "properly".
Given your situation, I think option 2 would be you best choice ... but you'll need to keep topping the photos to keep them short. You'll grow out your autos and the have some really big shrubs for the photos.
And speaking of light ... what you have will keep your plants alive, but they won't be happy about it. If all you can afford right now is a second light like you have, then that's what you need to do. It isn't a great solution, but right now based on what you're telling us, it's the only solution. Just bear in mind that if you're going to grow, you'll need to invest in good lights at some point or you'll never realize the potential of your plants

Especially if the seeds are hard I find it helps a lot. Right now I have black magic that I use to feed. When should I focus on feeding since they are so young?

Use H2O2 to germinate seeds? Likely not any successful growers.

Seed, dirt and water. That's all I use to germinate seeds. I transplant from original 1/2 gallon pot to final three gallon pot at the beginning of week four.

you can just use mycos if you want the roots to grow faster. Never heard of anyone using hydrogen peroxide but not bad looks like some have a little burn though.

Hey man I've been budget growing well before all this pandemic stuff, it's all good. Fox Farm ocean forest is ok. It is way hot soil wise for young plants. Let the soil dry until the top inch or two is Dry. Watch the New growth closely, that will tell you how fast your Root system is growing as well. If that makes sense.

I agree FFOF is too hot for small plants I always burn them using it at first I’d recommend going with happy frog at first it’s not as hot.

For some reason it’s only the autos that are burning... the black
Berry cookies are in the back the 3 that are thriving in my opinion
