You never want to over-water. Wait until the soil is DRY, like crusty dry on top, to water.
Cannabis is a weed, you must treat it as such. I know it's hard not to baby them, but it really is for the best. Just let them do their thing, and water when it needs it.

About how much to water, I like to water until I see some drain out of the bottom. My girls in 5 gal buckets get about 1-2 liters every 5-6 days.

I handle my seedlings in exactly the opposite manner. They can NOT tolerate being dried out. To that end (click either my nick or my sig and you'll find a link to my gallery) I keep seedlings in a tray, and I always keep water, about 1/2" in the tray. This way there is no risk of washing soil off the seed, no risk of over or under-watering, and no risk of the seedling drying out, from which they seem to never recover.
Edit: hit the sig line, go back to the first page. Edit: added height of water in tray.

my bad, I should really not smoke so much in the morning. I didn't take their state into consideration at all.

Yeah, that and you find a show, like Dogs 101, and it's gonna have the ONE breed that you've been waiting like MONTHS to see them show, and that section is the ONE fucking section you fall asleep during. And then wake up in time for the God damned Shitzus. :roll:

He told me the Cali. Indica x Big Bud was good, he didn't tell me it would put me on my ass. :lol:

really not... keep em wet, what i do is a stick them in wet soil and a few times a day i spray the top of the soil where the seeds are a couple times. I do this until i see sprouts then i return to normal watering once the sprout shows leafs.

I just wet the top of the soil and place a baggie over the top of the cup/pot and within 24 hours they sprout.. then once they seedlings for the first like 4 days I dont water after the first time then it's like every other or every 2 days...
