Green Gelato & Royal Cookies automatic

Soooo, a new grow, only my second one, and first diary. First week was already a special one ^^ I popped the seeds directly into the soil, and 5 days later, behold we have a seedling. And there's problem nr 1, we only have 'a' seedling, not 2, the cookie didn't sprout :( No big deal, popped in another seed directly into the soil, and 5 days later we uhm get something which resembles a seedling. So far not that impressed by the royal cookies, never the less it's the first germ-fail out of 8 seeds (in my first grow I planted 6 seeds directly in the soil which all sprouted). Then there was the other issue... One of the 5 month old Mars-Hydro TS1000 went black :( Luckily they do have a good service and a new driver+dimmer is on the way. But hey, one light will do for the first weeks. And the Green Gelato Auto did good, the Royal Cookies Auto is about 6 days behind, but should have a shorter flower stage so they might end up ready at the same time.
