i water my seedlings almost every day but only a very little, like riddleme says u learn to read them and although this may not be the scientific way i approach it as if it was the normal time of year for seedlings i.e spring where it rains often but not heavily.

cut a coke bottle in half and spray the inside of the top with water and pop it over the top, i use a heated propagator but the coke bottle works the same way.
