1. Yes, only water when the soil is dry an inch down from the surface. I let mine get even dryer during the first weeks of growth, you want the roots to search for the moisture so they root system is stronger and larger.

2. give it 2-5 days, it should pop up soon.

3. Air flow won't be necessary until the plant has sprouted, unless your room gets hot of course. Still, I would have the air flowing anyways and make sure you have a fan on your seedlings so they grow up nice and strong.

Word man,

What kind of light is it exactly?

How many days has the seed been in the soil?

Put your hand over your soil, if it gets too hot from the light then it is too hot for the plant. Good rule of thumb to follow.

Don't use nutes until about the 2nd or 3rd week, other wise you will burn the plant.

Ahh gotcha,

You should invest in some CFL's, they are a lot cooler and easier to work with.
