sprout and soil problems

alright so my girls have just sprouted and i have a long way to go, but i wanted to know how often/much i should water them because everyday i check the soil in theree pots and it seems dry and hot. there in miracle grow soil and some compost soil, so i dont think thats the problem but idk im new to this

i would preciatie if somebody could help me out

how big are your pots?

5 gallon pots

Hm. Strange. I know Miracle Grow is not the best..but it shouldn't dry out like that, especially with new seedlings that aren't drinking as much as big plants. Maybe try putting a layer of mulch on top of your soil. If you're not opposed to changing you soil, or adding stuff to the soil you have now, you could get some peat moss, moisture crystals, perlite, or something that retains water and add those to it.

hmm, mulch that sounds like it might be a pretty good idea.
wont that shit break down and compost into the soil though, i would think it would affect the taste if it did
