Already a bad start

Ok I got 3 more seeds after I killed the last ones, unfortunately I lost one of them cause I can't remember where I put it. Also, it's already too late to plant seeds but the temperature for now is around 30 celsius so I wanted to try anyways before waiting another whole year to try again. This time I bought the right soil and pots and I watered less than the other times even though it feels like too little to me, I also put plastic cups on top to make the soil stay damp for longer since people told me that for germination you shouldn't need to water until the plant pops out but last time every time I checked the soil was dry even though I watered until I saw water coming out of the bottom. I got really low expectations but I guess I need to learn so this is good. Also I skipped the wet paper towel germination thing this time since I don't think it's really useful (I could be very wrong but I know very little about plants so don't hate me for what I'm doing 😁) Alright so, I'm at the end of the first week, one of them popped out and looks healthy, the other one though, I think it popped out but burned because it came out of the soil later and the difference between the two is that I gave water to the healthy one the moment it popped out but I gave the other one water before it popped out since I was away for a day so maybe it didn't have enough water the moment it popped out. Still though, I'm pretty happy for the one that popped out, I didn't think I would be able to make them even germinate considering it's 35 degrees celsius here.
