Watering after I first plant seeds

Ok I've read dozens of forums on how much to water your seeds some say less is more and some say water thoroughly or bottom water (which I just started an hopefully it helps

Here's the problem I've lost tons of seeds because the roots dried up but I've lost seedlings from overwatering

So should I water thoroughly every other day or so?

Nd plz don't say when soil get dry since the I'm growing in jiffy pots which are about an actual cup ( since we all have diffrent cups sizes)

Greatly appreciated thnx guyys

When I start seedlings, I put them in little 8 oz party cups, and water about 1.5 oz every two days. I've never had a seedling die on me.

Seedlings are tough. Nature made em that way to survive spring. If youre having trouble keeping them alive you need to read more.

If you are growing em in dirt just water when the soil feels kind of moist but not wet. Paying too much attention and watering too much are where new growers makenthe mistake. Its a plant toss it in dirt water it...put a small fan on it and some light as close as possible...

i let my seedlings get pretty dry before i water them again. Helps to develop roots.

subbd. 1 day (maby 2) from potting my popped seeds (seedling-ets, lol).
