Well we buried #2 today the oldest one wouldn’t grow any bigger plus they both took on this sickly yellow color. That’s the 2nd one to die #3 is still (I don’t know what its doing.) Planted #5 in the new cup. #4 got dropped on the floor when I was inspecting the package when they first came. Hope one of these work. If not Have to wait till next month to get anything started.

We all go through hardships and heartbreak with this endeavor. I’ve definitely dropped a few plants and killed even more due to my own ignorance. Its well worth it in the end. Just don’t give up!
Trying not to but, with the wife in my ear. “Do you think your being told not to grow?” It’s
kinda hard not to. See it’s illegal where I am.
Maybe your soil is too hot. What are you using?

Put up a tent or something and get them away from her lol. Negativity is a plant killer…jk but it adds to the mistakes at times.
Read the grow bible and really go over germinating. If they are dying that quick it’s usully something simple. How are you germinating?

Yes. I have one coming. Been just putting them in the soil giving them light little water> Some conversation (c02). The plant started out nice and then it didn’t
You’re going to be fine . I like to use the big plastic boxes that I buy my lettuce in at the grocery store they are already ventilated with holes in them. You can sit the cup right down inside the Box mist the top lid with a spray bottle also mist the Leafs on the plant give the root system long enough to develop. And with proper light. You can get back on track. The box works just like a dome it will get your humidity level up where it needs to be for seedlings. Good luck
OK thanks.
Did you soak the seeds in water until they sank? Could try the papertowel method then plant them, or soak them and then plant.
Make sure you have drain holes in your cups as over watering will kill a seedling quicker than just about anything. Also make sure you have a dome to put over them as they thrive in higher humidity. I like to put a small cup over my seedling and use a spray bottle to water but not right next to stem as it make the roots search for water and grow.
sabotage ? 
I would use rapid routers to get them started then from there put in solo cup or bigger
It’s illegal where I am too buddy. But if you believe in something strongly enough, you do it anyway.

I use clear plastic bag over my seedlings in a coffee cup to keep humidity up and take bag off 2 to 3 times a day for 15 min at a time until it’s got its 3rd set of leaves

I just lost 5 Auto Hindu Kush month old seedlings to god knows what , so I get your vibe…BUT …when it works its the biggest blast going.
I grow a years supply from ten autos all grown by sunlight under glass.
I only have a short calendar window to produce five at a time so it was a kick in the guts for me to lose five…but onwards and upwards as the way is clear.
Maybe best to ignore them for a few days so they know whose boss !
Well, with that to look forward to I guess I soldier on.
