first of all, you don't feed plants until they're over 4 weeks old. only water until they break 4 weeks.

second off, 15 ml per 2 litres is WAY TOO MUCH nutrient. no wonder they died shortly after, you lethal injected them.

try 1.5ml per 3 litres of water.

in the NPK value you want nitrogen early on. adding vermiculite or perlite well help the drainage of your plants significantly.

I agree too many nutes too soon is killing them. Start with a 1/4 of the strength when they are about 3 to 4 weeks old and showing signs that they need it. I feed every other watering. :peace:
