I have three baby's that i started 12/12 from seed, they're about 10 days in but i'm going on vacation for four days, i gave them a good watering(as much as normally plus half of that)... will they be okay? i usually water them 4 or 5 times in 7 days

Assuming your pots aren't quite small, a good, thorough watering prior to your departure should suffice.
Why are you watering 4-5 times a week? IF your plants are using all that water, then you either need to TP into a larger planter, or adjust the environment (temps) to allow for less watering.

i have better luck doing more often smaller waterings than bigger watering spread out for some reason. both times i tried watering every 3 to 4 days my plants would droop. and also i'm broke so my pots are small and made of several layers of newspaper, you gotta do what you gotta do to make it work. haha. i don't see the need to change my watering as my plants never droop any more, 90 percent of the time the leaves are slanted upwards
