So I bought some Mdanzig Blue Ryder AF seeds from the Attitude. I got 10 seeds and plus 2 freebies(Dinafem Roadrunner and Dinafem Haze) but the Haze packet just contains crumbs of a seed like somebody broke it up and sprinkled the seed into the packet. But anyways, The Attitude had excellent shipping time. I got them 6 days after ordering and I live in the southwest US.
I presoaked 3 of my seeds until they sank(about 4 hours) and then attempted to germinate them using the paper towel method. The first seed germinated less than 12 hrs after starting. So I planted it into a Jiffy 12 seedling greenhouse. For some reason, the root grew up and out of the Jiffy plug so I had to carefully replant it correctly. It did great for 2 days, and they it lost color and went limp and died. I think my problem was too much water and probably too soon to use any nutrients and/or it probably wasn't a good idea to put it outside when it was so hot. I had also put just a little bit of Superthrive in a spray bottle and was using that to keep it from drying out and I just read that Superthrive is no good for AF for some reason. So I decided to wait for the other 2 seeds to germinate. Finally after 12 days the second seed germinated. I planted it in the jiffy greenhouse and have only been using reverse osmosis water for the first 2 days of it's life. the third seed is swollen and split open like it wants to sprout, but hasn't yet.
So my questions are...
Should I just be watering right now, or should I have the water supplemented with my nutrients? I was told to mix the General Hydroponics Flora Micro and Flora Grow to 100 ppm and use that to water with. Does this sound right?
Also,
what would be the max temperature these can handle outside? I would like to set them outside on my balcony during the day but it ranges from 70 in the morning to 100 by the afternoon.
Right now the seedling is under a 90w Quad band UFO LED light and seems to be doing well.

Hopefully my PH meter gets here soon. I have no idea what the PH of my RO water is currently.
This is day 2
