Vacation issue

[PotatoPower]

So, my family has decided to leave ONE day early to go on vacation. I was planning on my plants to sprout tomorrow, and we're leaving tonight. So, the thing I need to know is what do I do?
I have 4 plants in paper cups. Been in there 3 days, and should sprout tomorrow-ish.
I don't know how I should handle the watering, and if I should turn on a light so when they sprout while I'm gone, they can begin to veg?

should turn on a light so when they sprout while I'm gone, they can begin to veg?

that'll work.they need very little watering the first two weeks.

Also, the temperatures are going to fluctuate here. Right now it's 70, the low is gonna be 50, tomorrow it's going to be 63, with a low of 49. And again on saturday, then on sunday, it's going to be like today. I have a heating pad, some insulation, and cardboard/plastic wrap to protect the seedlings from too much heat, and the heating pad from run off.
Should I just turn the pad on low?

. Should I just turn the pad on low?

yeah, that's where it should be anyways.

It's a heating pad, not a seedling pad though.

I haven't used a heating pad, so can't help you there. As for temps, do you have central heat? Just leave the heat on. Set the thermostat for 70-75
