I figured by growing with soil and with only water for my 1st time indoors, I could learn by crawling first before going all in with a full hydro setup.I have the light,ventilation and even a c02 bag, and I hand water. But I'm stuffing up miserably. I've gone thru 14 fem seeds.

Sounds like you need to work on your germination. Seeds are created with everything they need within the seed, their own little backpack with enough gear(energy) to pop the soil, and for 2 leaves to sprout !! After which photosynthesis will take over. This initial stage can be difficult but with a little know-how, it gets easier. First off you must understand the seed, it requires 3 triggers in order for it to start the process of germinating. Darkness = Whether it's plain old soil or just 0 lights it must think it is in the "soil". Warmth = Personally I go above 80 Fahrenheit, like a wee babe in the womb. Moisture = The hard shell of the seed must be kept moist at all times during germination if the environment dries out too fast it will leave the medium and seed in trouble. Buy some organic potting soil or seed starting soil... run it through a sifter to remove all chunky pieces or anything that might restrict the little seeds from penetrating the soil, this will leave you with very fine soil, light and fluffy. Soak seeds in pure coconut water (natures embryotic fluid) it contains enzymes that help growth also, allow 24 hours to soak in a nice warm place, make sure it's not too hot but you want it cozy 77+ once the seeds have absorbed the fluid the shell should become soft enough to open, the seed should show its taproot if not that's ok, you can use the paper towel method too. whatever method you choose the 3 criteria to be met must be warmth, darkness, moisture. Its also good to ask just a little airflow to stop any stagnation from taking hold, make sure the medium is not heavily watered, depending on the soil make sure it doesnt become thick with water and create a tough shell once dried. (gently till soil after light waters)

I can take a guess here, ok so your prob over watering. Ive done it, we all have. We worry they will dry out and die if the soil doesnt look wet all the time right? They need less water than you think. I water my seedlings once a week or even longer if the soil is still damp to the touch, so please remember in soil you need to let it dry out more before you water or the seedlings die. Next if you want easy then you will need some mineral nutes. doesnt matter what as long as you only use it at 1/3 to 1/2 strength of what the bottle says and only use it ever two weeks or so and you will have no issues with deficencies or over feeding. Most pple using "just soil" indoors have made up some really rich "super soil" or bought some fanchy expensive bag of something like fox fam and its so strong it burns their plants and kills them...so if you have some fancy soil you got and have added a bunch of dry amendments and bio boosters.. then your cooking your plants with too many nutes. So without knowing more details- if your using some fancy soil with lots of nutes added, go get a bag of good potting soil from your local garden center/home depo- just plain old normal potting mix, and mix in 50/50 of the potting soil and your fancy soil and use that- then get some decent mineral based nutes- green house feeding has become my new fav lately and just use a weak mix of that every 2 weeks and you will be fine. The other issue could be your light. If your light is shit then nothing else will work no matter what we say. If its at least 100 W LED then you should be fine.

Without a diary it is impossible to say what you are doing wrong or what you are doing right. Do you have germination problems? Do they die in veg? Where exactly are you stuffing up? What exactly are you doing or not doing? A diary, even unsuccessful, is still a winner, information is knowledge!

If you want easy, cheap hydro setup? Read my OG Kush or critical mass diaries. Both are hydro. There is no expensive chillers or bubbles. Very easy to use nutrients.

Soil alone is not enough to make something simple, in fact indoor soil grows can be quite difficult. Practising outside is a bit easier then indoors in my opinion. and with tomatoes or peppers before cannabis. mainly from the cost point of the seeds. If you intend to grow in hydro I would say start with hydro and learn from there. GH is a great brand of nutrients for hydro setups their trio line is superb. Also ditch the added co2, you only will get use out of that when you are a pro grower. Its not needed in hoby grows untill your starting to use light intensities of 900+ PPFD Best Of Luck!

If growing in soil. Is it a light mix if so you'll need core nute grow, micro, bloom. Advanced Nutrients do a good PH perfect trio and its very cheap.
