Both phrases are not correct as they contain a mix of tenses that do not match. The correct form should be either 'if I didn't try it now, I would' or 'if I don't try it now, I will'. The first phrase uses past tense 'didn't' and 'would', while the second phrase mixes present tense 'don't' with 'would'.
