When they are that small (seedling stage) you really don't need need to water them that much. With cocoa (never used it) you hold water for longer periods of time. When a plant sprouts and you see the seed sprout it has the hull of the shell and inside of that shell is a membrane that the seedling feeds itself with until it can establish roots and a leaf system to start using energy and building the root mass. You only need to give it air water(very little,enough to keep everything moist) and some light(nothing intense) and heat and humidity to keep the seedling cool and moist.
I personally just throw mine into the soil and let them go naturally,they take a day longer to pop usually. The only ones I had die were the seeds I dug up due to new grower lack of restraint to find out if they popped yet. Once they get their first true set of leaves around second node then they will start to drink more and then it off to the races. I would suggest you keep a personal journal and every day log everything from temps and humidity during the day and after lights on. Light height,how much water and nutes you are giving it. Every question and problem that you have log it in,really even if everything is ok just write it down. Basically everything you do gets recorded so you can look back and say "yeah I don't need to water this much now or this strain can only take half nute strength so on and so on. Once you get it then all the basics become natural then you log in are the critical new problems or good results from learning new things. I am just anal but it is what works for me. You got this,I will be watching this one ,I am really interested to see how things go. Peace and good karma!!
You will be doing this sooner than you think. Cookie Party
