Hi, Matthew here first time grower just looking for advice and experience I started off with two plants one has died and one is thriving ‍♂️ Not sure what I did wrong with the other one I did a rookie mistake right at the beginning by not labelling the strains so not sure what I’m growing it’s out of cheesecake auto and sour orange auto this is day 3 of been above soil and advice would be great

Your soil doesn't sound very balanced. I'd recommend looking into the soil mixes others are running before attempting to mix your own.

Watering with a spray bottle seems tedious, I would just water when you can't feel moisture when you stick your finger into the soil. You can also learn to go by the weight of the pot.

No I’ve just winged it abit with the soil but I did do research on the westlands all purpose compost with added ji before hand and what I read every one had a good outcome as I’m in the Uk hard to find the right soil and I’m basically just doing what I watched on you tube or read on here thanks
 
Yeah I mean I've heard of some people pulling off compost-only grows, but I guess it would really depend on the compost. I have two kinds. One is sheep and chicken compost which I was told could be planted in directly. The other kind is a commercial dairy cow compost which I use at about 30% in my mix. The guy I bought it from was surprised I used that much of it.
