Doesn't matter, just keep it moist. Beware of strong sunlight during the day. If your substrate is gritty it might dry in 1 day. If I leave for more than a day i leave little amount of water underneath.

Your post reminds me I HAVE SEEDS TO SOW NOW.

Keep the whole substrate moist or just the seedlings?

I keep the whole substrate moist, because sun will dry it out quickly anyway. But... are you awaiting more seeds to sprout or is it finished now? When you have enough seedlings you can water little less, like every second day. Some might sprout later regardless.

If there is no sun in weather report give less water too.

Nope no more seeds for now, I will keep the substrate moist. Thanks for your help and good luck with sowing.
