I was wondering if i should begin giving it water until water begins to drain out of the holes on the bottom. Should i just keep misting or go ahead and water normally??? They are about 1-3 inches tall as of now.

everyone is different- i normally just mist a few shots twicw a day mine normaly dries pretty quick on heating pad and under four tube

i normally start a rationed amount of water around week 1- then start 1/4 strenth food around week 2- i leave on heating pad until transplant around week 3 to 5

but like i said everyone is different

ones they sprout you wait until the soil is compeletely dry and then you water..
I personally NEVER let my soil get completely dry. Think about what "completely dry" means.... then go look up Uncle Ben's watering guide.

To the OP, place a dome over those cups to retain humidity. Slightly vent. I'd do that for first several days, just mist and leave in dome.

If it is completely dry, it is too dry. Once the surface has dried out you're fine to water. I wouldn't spray anything at all on my seedlings until they are a couple weeks in, and I just water as usual once the surface has dried. If all you ever did was spray the soil surface you could be leaving the rest of the soil too dry, it is definitely not ideal.

Also, seedlings don't need high humidity.
