I'm so frustrated and tired of wasting expensive seeds I could just... and
So you folks think I should just throw the seeds out onto this low quality sandy soil or into the cracks of my driveway and leave them alone?

LOL, not exactly, but close. Most newbs suffer from can't-leave-it-alone syndrome. The best advice I ever got when I was a newb was "leave that shit alone man." Over watering and over fertilizing are the biggest problems. Too much love.
Cannabis is a hearty plant that will flourish in even marginal conditions. It grows feral in several states.
Amend your local soil with compost and/or commercial potting mix. Start off with bag seed or something cheap like Nirvana seeds. You'd be surprised at the gems to be found in Nirvana seeds. Or K.C. Brains seeds. He primarily breeds for outdoor and they are also inexpensive.
Start with water only until they get a little size on them, and slowly start adding fertilizer. Err on the side of caution and use a weak feeding schedule and start working up.
I understand the urge to check them and pamper them and fret over them. Don't. Let 'em be.
Make sure they don't dry out, but don't water them daily. Every few days to once a week depending on conditions.
It's a weed. It'll grow like one with minimum intervention.
No, we're just saying it's not that complicated. Read some of the grow logs on here, some of these fuckers are practically illiterate, but they can still grow weed like a mah, because it ain't really all that hard.
In a hot environment it can be hard to draw the line between over and under watering, especially depending on the soil mixture. Maybe you would actually do better with a hydro setup that would allow more frequent watering.
WTF am I so bad at this I kill weeds??
You CAN do this, I promise.
You got a thermometer in your greenhouse? How hot is it? How well ventilated is it? You said it wasn't sealed, but is it completely closed off?
How clean is the AC runoff? Could it be harboring mold/bacteria?
