Peat pellets(the little geenhouse starter kits) Start your seeds in those and you wont have to worry about your seeds getting too much or too little water. Very easy.

forget the humidifier, forget the hygrometer.
Get some real nutes
First you need to figure out exactly why they died...

Home depot blows? They have everything a grower could need for a soil or hydro grow, you just have to know what you are looking for. You dont need humidifier or a moisture meter. If you need more humidity for your seedlings then just put a clear plastic cup over top of them, as far as the moisture meter just stick your finger 2inches into the soil, if it is wet dont water it, if it is dry then water it. I dont know what nutes you have but the easiest thing to do would be to get the liquid Schultz Plant Food 10-30-10(comes with a dropper) and get a small bottle of superthrive and some fish emulsion if you can find it(they usually have it at walmart). This DrGreenGenes formula and i have never seen anybody burn or have a problem with this mix, you dont have to have the fish emulsion, its good stuff but smells to bad Mix them like so and use everytime you water your plants

Each Gallon of water contains....
4-drop SuperThrive
4-droppers full Schultz 10-15-10
1-Tbsp. Fish Emushtion 5-1-1

I am just trying to be helpful here and offer a few simple suggestions for newbies. If you read this, you will be glad.
If you are new here, PLEASE go to Newbie Central and read up on posting here and asking questions.
You can almost always find the answer to any question at GrowFAQ;
FAQ = Frequently Asked Questions.
There is a link to that site at the top of this page.

ONE-
If I can impress one fact upon you, I read here every day where a new grower says "well, I tried ____________and I killed my plants."
"I wondered what would happen if I ________________and I killed my plants"
or "I thought I would try _______________and it killed my underwater pump".
I tried adding sugar and I got ants. I tried adding mollasses and it screwed up my pump. I tried urine.......................I tried dog poop................
IF you DO NOT know what will happen, then DON'T TRY IT..........NOT with your first grow.
EXPERIMENTATION IS GREAT, THAT IS HOW WE LEARN, BUT WOULDN'T YOU RATHER LEARN FROM SOMEONE ELSE'S MISTAKES?
You do not want your first grow to be an experiment, you want it to be a successful grow and harvest.
Are you trying to be a inventor, an inovator, or trying to harvest some weed to smoke?
Growing can really be simple, but we tend to want to experiment and we tend to want to always fool with the plants, to mess with them, to try something different, to do some more, and some more, and some more.. THAT IS WRONG THINKING. STINKING THINKING, I CALL IT.
DO THE RIGHT THING AND THEN LEAVE THEM ALONE! LEARN, RESEARCH, STUDY, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, BUY A BOOK OR TOO.
I see people post "I tried urine, I tried mollasses, I tried dog doo-doo, I tried miracle grow, I added so and so, I made up some grow nutrients, I mixed in blah bla blah. DON'T DO IT !!!!
If it will work right, then you can read here where someone else did it successfully.
TWO-
It is better to do too little than to do too much. It is better to not do enough, than to over - do it. It is better to do less, than to do more.
Think of toothpaste. After you squeeze it out, it's a done deal, and you have to deal with what you have, you can not put it back in the tube. BUT, IF you do not squeeze enough out, you can always squeze some more out later.
Just like spoken words, once said, they are out there.
THREE-
Many new members here will offer advise here, that have never grew a plant in their entire lives. "Build your own Hydroponic System" and "Try some Miracle Grow" and "go get some Halogen Lights" and a lot of bull crap advise. I see successful Soil Growers offering advise on Hydroponics. I see Hydroponic Growers offering advise on how to grow outdoors. When you read advise, look to see if that person is new here or been here awhile, if he or she has ever grown before, and if he has more than a few posts, posted, or is new here. Beware of advise starting with "I heard that........." OR "MY BUDDY TOLD ME ......................"
FOUR-
If you are going to grow..............
DO NOT TELL ANYONE.
DO NOT TELL ANYONE.
DO NOT TELL ANYONE.
INTERNET PURCHASES ARE SAFER THAN WALKING INTO A HYDROPONIC STORE.
LOWES AND WALMART AND HOME DEPOT ARE MORE SAFER.
Every time I read on here that someone got busted, it was a wife, x-wife, girlfriend, x-girlfriend, nosey neighbor, or mad partner or mad upset buddy.

THE PLANTS ARE GOING TO SMELL VERY LOUD AND AWEFUL.
DECIDE ON INSIDE OR OUTSIDE.
DECIDE ON SOIL OR HYDRO.
DECIDE ON SEED OR CLONES.
DECIDE ON WHAT KIND OF LIGHTS.
ARE YOU GOING TO VENT THE HEAT?
FIVE-
IF you decide on an INDOOR GROW, then BEFORE you do anything else,
Spray the area good with a good ALL PURPOSE bug spray, like HomeGuard. Don't just use a spray made to kill ants or only roaches. Everyday someone posts here that spider mites ruined their crop.



Figure out how you going to deal with
  • the heat or temperature.
  • the smell.
  • the spider mites.
  • the humidity.
  • the neighbors, parents, girlfriend, neighbor and deadbeat friends.
  • source for good water.
  • air movement or air circulation.
SIX- DO NOT TELL ANYONE

I would just feed, some fish emulsion 5-1-1.

fig out how much water.

1 tbsp fish emulsion a gallon
1 tbsp molasses a gallon
2 handfuls of compost a gallon
worm casting if you can find them
2 handfuls of manure

put this in big bucket. bubble with an air tube. no stone. 18 hours.

feed to your plants once they get their third real node. \\

use ro water. no chlorine.

use at least 5 gallon pots.

use jiffy plugs and tray to start your seeds.

get a bigger light off craigs list.

get the tent and fan and charcoal filter too, off craigs list.

you will be sorry if you dont. Unless you are mega cfl king, led guy.

p.s. buy an ozone generator. an ad in craigslist right now says it all. "buy this or get arrested"
