That's not a healthy seedling.
You must understand that these seedling are a lot like cacti, They don't need much water. The roots 'grow' when they are looking for water.
If you're continually dumping a cup of water onto it then it's never going to have to look for it thusly causing a small plant with numerous problems.
Your plant would be a lot bigger for 5 days if it was truly 'healthy'. Not trying to be the barer of bad news, but I feel I need to tell you before it's too late.
Thats the thing its been 4 & 1/2 days since I took the seed out of the bag where it germinated and planted the long route covering it completely with soil about 1 & 1/2 inches deep. It penetrated the soil on its 2nd day. I think watering every 3-4 days should be alright, I havent been "dumping" water on it I've only watered once. What I want to know is how you ended up on the conclusion that I'm over watering. I don't think I mentioned temperature or humidity, which I thought mattered when you look at how much water your plant is drinking. Ill do a finger test and post a pic of it. Also Chibz how many seedlings have you seen sprout?
