Bubbleponics fail 6x now trying soil......

As some know I have posted before about problems with bubbleponics well now I'm trying soil. I will post pic soon with age. I have gotten some Light Warrior and 10 seeds only one survived:-(. I would love to have help and ideas if you guys would like to leave any. I'm new and really don't know what the hell to do!!

If you are going to go with soil (and that is a SMART move, BTW), I suggest that you start out keeping this as uncomplicated and easy as you can. Forget all of the "You have to have this spectrum" or "you have to use this Brand of nutrients" , (These are all just OPTIMIZING methods anyway) and concentrate on keep in them alive for the duration of the grow. Once you can do that, THEN start refining your technique!! If you start out with bagseed, use a general purpose like a 10-10-10 through the entire grow, and use CFLs (enough of them) or only a Metal Halide through both veg and flower, you will get some amazing bud, I can assure you. Once you get the basics of growing down, then you can start fine tuning the whole proper nutrients and light spectrum at the proper stage thing. Don't try all the shit that everyone is gonna throw at you to "improve your yields". Remember, a plant is a living thing, and is going to have some "hang nails" along the way, and not everything you THINK is a problem really is a problem. Just chill, and keep reading. If you keep it simple at first, you'll be successful and will have more motivation to get better.
 
This is the most no nonsense post I have yet to see!!! Jack I would appreciate if you would keep a check on this thread as I post different things and give me you insight l, once again thanks a million!!!
 
This is a general run down of my girl(hopefully)!!
Light Warrior soil, 150 watt grow light fixture with HIB, no nutes because she's only a baby and water as needed.
Thats all, what cha think Jack?

Sounds good so far. How long they been in the soil? Is that HID a MH or HPS? At this point, you can use either one to start out with.

Jack is one of the good ones to learn from. if you do not mind posting on how you failed to germ ur seeds. I use two glass plates, paper towels and my cable box. place wet paper towels on plate . place seeds down, another layer of wet paper towel. place second plate upside down on the first one to keep moister in and set on cable box, DVD player anything that stays on 24/7 and gives off a Lil heat. with in 24 hours most seeds crack if not the next 12 to 24 hours. i have 100% germ rate this way. I only check them every 24 hours and never gone past 48 hours to have em all showing tap root. others will say just place the seeds in dirt and water like how they grow in the wild ,but when I pay good money for the seeds I want to make sure they grow.I place them in a jiffy cube soon as they have tap root and let em grow for a week before putting them in a party. with Fox Farm Ocean forest straight out the bag. that way i can controll the strech and after a week or two in the party cup i move them to there final home of 3 gallon pot size.

That will do you for this grow. If you decide you want to keep growing, you WILL need to at least upgrade the lighting to at least a 400. Take things grow by grow. Each time you'll learn something that you can apply next grow. Once you start learning, then what you read will start to make sense, and you'll be able to tell whats bunk and what's real info.
 
Thx Ohmy!!! Also today I planted another seed that I germed and started germing a Delicious Fruity Chronic Juicy feminized. The temp in the room is now 82 is that ok or should it be lower??
