They need watered when the soil is nearly dry, all of it. That depends on alot of things, but mainly...pot size, plant size, soil drainage, light intensity, and temperature. Here's a safe way to know when to water, until you get the process fine-tuned....

After your top layer of soil has dried, stick your finger down into the dirt, and feel for noticeable moisture. If you can't tell for sure, go ahead and water. That's dry enough to where you won't have to worry about overwatering problems, yet wet enough to not have them go droopy. You want to find that point where the soil is nearly dry, right before the drooping point. That's ideal. But, as long as your close to that, they'll be just fine.

You should end up watering every 2-5 days, ideally.

Are you for real?????

Next you'll be asking someone to fly to where you are to hold your hand while you water.

Come on man do some research and stop asking silly questions.

So far between adding things to your weed to make it taste better, whats up with weed tasting like weed?
And now this question you are asking for some serious flack on this site with silly questions such as these.

Who videos their whole grows like this?

People take pictures sure but come on newb get real bro.

Okay, so what troubles are you having? Nobody can help you, unless you have specific questions. What stage are they dying in, and what is happening to them? Sound to me like you don't know much at all, so it'd be wise to ask questions that are aimed at getting started, instead of trying to learn the whole process, at once. Don't worry about bloom, til you have vegging understood, for example.

Don't water it everyday. You're more or less drowning the seedling and its roots are unable to take up oxygen from the soil because it's bogged down with water.

What size of pots are your seedlings in?

Get a spray bottle and mist the soil, rather than pouring water in. They won't need much water at all, when they're tiny, and a light misting should do the job, just fine.

As asked....we need to know what sized pots they're in. What type of soil? Did you add anything to it?

If you keep messing with the little thing everyday like you are , you will end up killing it. Go read for a while and let your plant grow. It's a weed , not an Orchid.

The biggest piece of advice I can give you is when you're sitting there, worrying yourself sick about if you're doing something wrong or if you're going to kill it, take a step back, take a big deep breath, and remember, it's just a plant. It's not some magical bean that needs as much watching as a small child. It's just a plant :)

Plants are amazing man. they pretty much can just do there own thing, you gotta think of it like the plants and trees outside....they dont have some dude watching them 247 and taking care of them. if they have light, soil, and water there pretty much fine by themselves up until they start getting a little taller and older which is where the tending to comes in. stop worrying man just read read read read read read read and then read more. and by the time your done you will know just about everything there is to know about a plant like this.

Germinate the seed, plant the seed just below the surface of the soil, moisten the soil (do not soak it), then wait for nature to take its course. Once the seedling pops above the soil then make sure the surface remains slightly moist but do not soak it.
