Watering Seedlings

I'm finally over the cold I've been fighting the last couple of days, and didn't kill my seedlings when I forgot to water them for two and half days. In fact, they seem to have thrived with my neglect, as my plants always seem to do. This is actually something I can't stress enough, you have to deprive your seedlings of water occasionally once they start growing. If you keep watering them every day and keep the soil moist constantly, not only will you grow nice green stuff on top of your soil, but you will have plants with little tiny root systems that will try and die on you the moment you plant them in the garden. Once my plants have their true leaves, I water them less and less frequently, letting the soil dry out before watering. This prompts the plants to expand their root systems in search of water. I also water them from the bottom by pouring water into the tray beneath the seedlings so the roots go down further instead of hanging out at the top of the soil.
Don't forget to pay attention to what the seedlings are telling you though, if they get droopy and the soil is drying out, then water them. It's more important to listen to the signals the plants send you than to follow a set schedule.
