Germinating your seeds

Ok they cracked after 48 hrs, i planted them about .5 inch in soil.

How long till they break the ground and sprout up usually??

3-7 days, but if you dig around a little on top to see them first then they will never sprout. Trust me on this NEVER DIG AROUND TO SEE IF ITS MOVING UP YET. if 7 days pass and nothing then start with a new seed, digging around for the seed is only something you do if you are throwing that seed away regardless.

One sprouted a few hours ago... Im on my way. Should I water every other day during the seedling period?

for the first week you only really need to water about once, i personally just mist them 3 or 4 times a day for the first week with maybe a spot of water about halfway thru the week. most of ur misting moisture will penetrate the soil and that should be enuff for u seedlins.

I've been watering daily with only enough drop accross where the seed is (after soaking it before putting in the seed). I don't pour direct so as not to push down the seed at all, but I was under the impression during the seed-seedling stage you would want to water less water more often, and in flower water more water less often.
