1stly. You don't keep watering seeds pal. You plant the seed in moist soil. Nevermind the top few inches drying up. The roots will reach down once they sense moisture. They're roots. If you didn't germinate your seeds anywhere from 4-7 days. Also. You could of drowned em Just leave em be, let them do their thing.

If you watered properly, it shouldn't dry out before it germs and sprouts. when you irrigate, you irrigate entire pot, not a portion of it. partial irrigations lead to problems over time. if it's hot or otherwise going to dry too fast, put a cup over where it was planted but remove it once it sprouts. This should avoid any need for an irrigation before the sprout has a tap root all the way to the bottom of a seedling pot. if using larger pots, stop doing that. start in a small one and up-pot as needed. At this point you can wait for top layer to dry and irrigate. The higher the water capacity of your substrate the longer you should wait as far as drying up top -- weight of the pot is also an excellent way to do it. anything taking longer than 3-5 days is rare and more likey caused by planting method than a "bad" or slow seed. Some older seed may take longer than normal, too. this is a trial and error learning process of how deeply to plant it and gently to tamp down the substrate over it. you want enough friction to pull the seed shell off and not take longer than ~3 days. A heating mat helps if in a cold climate.

Thats not a plant, those are seeds at the moment ;) Give them their time and keep the soil moist but not wet! I would suggest to do the germination indoor, no need to put them outside in the sun at this stage. They need a moist soil and time. That's all.

Auch Outdoor sollte icht überwässert werden. Durch den Wind trocknet die Oberfläche stärker aus. Du solltest immer deine Pots auheben und wenn sie leicht sind kräftig Gießen so kommt immer frischer Sauerstoff an die Wurzeln. Mulch ( ich nehme gerne Stroh aus der Haustier Abteilung beim Shopping mit oder Covercrop kann dir helfen das die Erdoberfläche nicht zu sehr austrocknet wenn du das möchtest.

When germinating seeds outdoors in soil, the idea is to keep the soil moist, not wet........and never let it dry out completely. I generally cover seedling pots with shade mesh until they sprout. 4 days is not too long to wait, it is about normal.......4-7 days is average. However, if you have let the soil dry out too much, your seeds might be done for.
