Keep practicing with seedlings, you'll get the hang of it. Typically, new growers have the most problems at the seedling stage because they are the most vulnerable to overwatering. Give them a wet/dry cycle (but not too dry).

100%. seedlings in solo cups is the easiest and fastest way to understand wet/dry cycles IMO. Its pretty simple, the cup feels light as air when its needs water. plants respond the same way young or old.

typically, i up-pot from solo cups to final 3g pots once I need to water/feed the cups every day.

The problem I had practicing with seedlings, was they were $10 -$15 a seed. I spent a lot of money practicing. Lol

are you dropping a seed in a cup of soil? that can work, but % of germination is lower.

Consider plugs in a dome. When rooted, move to solo cups. When the cups need attention daily, move em to final pot

I just love how I'm 180 opposite from most people in this regard. Zero issues watering large pots from day one, but serious issues with small pots lol.

This is another I've got here that was started straight into a 8L pot with no issues with watering.

I started one beside it in a cup and it stunted within a week and I destroyed it. I'm just going to stick with what I know. There is noone worse than me at seeding in small containers lol.

I would definately love to give it a try, I just don't trust my skills yet lol.

It's like a crutch knowing I can just add some salts if I'm having issues.

The thing with organics is you need to have a good understanding of your plants. You need to know when they want something and how much of it they want.

That was when I first started. Yes I tried in soil, in rooters, in rockwool. It was always the same thing. Overwatered and wilting. Funny thing is, when I was a kid, in school, we planted some bean seeds in soil, sprouted, and grew them out. It was easy as hell. I figured it would be just as easy with cannabis seeds, and it should've been, but I just couldn't get it down. It turns out I was giving way too much water. I stopped over loving them, and I haven't had a problem since.

Well I'm definately holding back on the organics for a while then...I'm still very new to this whole game. I've fluked my previous 3 runs indoor and 2 outdoor. Only been at it for two years.

That's why I use craft blend. It has a lot of ingredients and it's a good balance. That along with ewc and I usually don't have any problems as long as I keep up with the feedings.

The downside of organics is, they take time to break down. You have to learn a feeding schedule for your strains. The upside of organics is, they take a while to break down(lol). Almost impossible to overfeed your plants.
