Newbie with seeds seeking advice

Hi everyone,

First of all, I really enjoy my time on the site and love the generosity people show with their advice, it has been very helpful.

I went to the NECANN convention over the weekend in Portland, Maine and got my hands on some seeds from two different vendors there. One was a local Maine company and the other was from, I think Oregon.

The Maine seeds are non-feminized and called Lemon MOB. I followed the directions they provided:
-Seeds into water for 18-24hours
-Jiffy pucks soaked for 15min in non ph'd water
-They are in a tent under a heat map and 3 sets of 4' T-8 lights with 6500 light spectrum
- I filled solo cups with nectar #4 soil and made room to place the jiffy pucks in so that they were surround by soil. I mixed in some great white mycorrhizae and pearlite prior to putting it into the cups.
- 6 were under a dome and 6 had baggies over the cups to help keep things from drying out.

So far 6 have sprouted, 5 from the cups with baggies and 1 from the dome. I am planning on going away for the weekend and was wondering what people would recommend I do to help keep things from drying out or avoiding dead plants when I come back on Sunday morning. Seems like the cups are holding their moisture well enough.

Thank you!

Water them properly before leaving and it will be just fine.

Seedlings barely drink water and even if they did, plants can go more than 2 days without watering. I've once not watered for a week and when I finally did, the plants were perfectly fine 12 hours later.
 
Thank you for the advice! I gave the plants a proper drink before leaving and they looked very happy when I got back home. Some new leaves and quite a bit of growth. 8)8)
