Haven't had much success as of yet, but here's hoping!
2 different bag seeds, both germinated same day. Looks like 1 isn't gonna make it possibly. They're in 1 gallon plastic pots on day 11 and both have been fed twice using Green Planet Medi One line.

This is July 12PXL_20220712_181720034.jpg

3 days later, July 15

My fingers are crossed!

You’ll have more success if you don’t feed for about the first 3-4 weeks. The small seedling already looks severely N burnt. Even then transplanting to a larger container with a decent soil mix is better than dumping nutrients on them this early. Try giving just plain water for awhile; use a hand mister to keep the soil moist at this point. Nearly impossible to overwater this way.

You started feeding too soon, luckily it was bagseed so not an expensive mistake. With that being said, I think the small plant will survive if you baby it

2nd pic new growth isn't horrible, like the guys said, just water for at least 2 feedings. Then I would drop 2 half strength of what I was doing, and assess the situation after a couple feeds

It's only Pro Mix HP. The plants had no food available, so after 7 days I fed them lightly.

In soil some feed with every water, some do something like feed, feed, water, feed. Water won't hurt, just watch the color of leaves and new growth and feed if u think u need to

My watering habits have been horrid as of late. I'm trying to unlearn my old ways and start fresh.
This is my first time using the Pro Mix straight out of the bag. It's only temporary. In my previous grows I mixed it with compost and perlite and simple dry amendments.
I only had enough for a few 1 gallon pots right now, so its holding me over until I finish my SIP and fill it with soil. I'm hoping it'll help my watering "issues"... I'm prone to under watering.

So, this time I wet the Pro Mix and sowed the seeds. Ive been letting them dry sufficiently and then watering. I give them 500ml each.

This is the problem. Frankenstein soil. What compost and dry amendments?

The current medium is 1 gallon each pot of Pro Mix HP, straight from the bag. It has mycorrhizae and some dolomite lime and not much else. Not even a TBSP of EWC.
I've previously mixed up the peat with worm castings, perlite and Gaia Green 444 and 284.

Day 14
The smaller one, the PK, is now holding itself up without support. Seems like it's starting to get on track.
I watered with only water saturday afternoon, so by Tuesday morning they should be dry enough for another feed.
The Platinum Cookies has roots starting to grow out through the drain holes, so I hope to transplant them both in the next 7ish days...
