My seed just sprouted after 4 and a half days of germination so I put it in a pot with good drainage and soil with polymers and stuff. Now how much water should I give my seeds once they're in soil?

...just be sure to let them dry out before you water them again. The young ones, IMO start off better in smaller pots, let the roots develop, then transplant into medimum size pot...then continue the process over and over. Learn what growers call the, "lift method" ...which is the best method to pick up your plants watering cycle. You lift your plant to learn it's dry weight. (when the soil is dry)...then you water. Letting the soil dry promotes better, faster root development. Not to mention better oxygen to the roots.

hey thanks for the reply and I'll keep that in mind but I failed to mention that I plan on transplanting it outdoors. In soil not a pot. Should I just do the stuff mentioned above until it's ready to transplant?

...sure, simply dig a hole big enough to bury the pot from indoors to outdoors. A piece of advice: ...slowly expose your plants to the outdoors before you transplant it, to prevent shock. While still in the pot and a week before you transplant outdoors....take the plants outside to get sun for say 2 hours....the next day 4 hours, 8 hours, then 12, then transplant outdoors once you think the plant will adapt without stress. Good luck.
