you shouldn't water wet soil. i use a spray bottle to water mine till they poke up but never when the soil is visibly moist. you don't want it to dry out too much when germinating a seed but you don't want it waterlogged. how much water you gave and the environment can effect how often the soil needs re moistening.

Did you germinate your seeds before putting them in soil? They will break through within a day usually. If the soil is dry water it but don't over do it. Be patient and wait for it to grow. Remember a watched pot doesn't boil.

Don't need a timer for seedlings...just leave lights on 24 hrs that way they will have light/heat while your gone...couple days should be ok? long as temperature is constant and not too hot.
Hell yah man show away!!! nothing wrong with bagseed lol one in my avatar is!

got to start somewhere...looks good so far ...yes height will be your only problem later... but nothing that lst or topping won't fix
temperature should be 25-29c for your seeds to pop! and it will be fine to leave light on 24hrs since your going away...then there is no worries about light or timer not working while your gone...but good to pick one timer up for later.
