YOu mean the top of the soil is drying out? If so, thats ok. Take your finger and push it way down into the soil deep...how does it feel?
Id lay off the spray bottle and just water it

I don't use leds, but isn't a 300w a lil much for seedlings? I'm asking not saying..it is with other lighting, may be a lil too much heat there, not to mention you could fry the seedlings? LED experts chime in here

what size pot are they in??
Did you germinate the seeds????
Cover the pot with plastic wrap.... seeds should go into soil that has been soaked enough to last well beyond 2 days.

Pour water on it.
Yeah with what? Like what should I use to water it so I don't over water
truth is nothing really is going to dry out the soil if the roots aren't taking in the water. You're either drying it out with a huge light, or blowing a fan directly on it. You say it hasn't sprouted yet, why do you have it under a light? You only do that once it peeks out of the soil, and a small CFL will do once it peeks out.
