I have placed the seed in the soil and i'm so excited. Do i have to water the soil now or just wait a few days because the soil is already moist from the pre-planting flushing process.

You just don't want the soil to dry out is all. On the flip side, you don't want 'soil soup' either. I would wait until tomorrow or give it a light misting tonight. I mist with a spray bottle morning, noon and night until sprout and never had any problems
Yeah it sounds really delicious. I carried the pot and it still felt a little heavy and i placed my finger to the first knuckle into the soil and it felt a little dryish so i just misted/sprayed the top of the soil with some water and it feels moist now. And also i'm not sure if i dig the hole deep enough but when i was feeling the soil i accidentally touched the middle part and some of the top soil got moved and i was able to see the top of the seed and i can see some orange/brownish thing coming out ? I'm really worried...
Anyway i just checked the ph level of my tapwater and the average of it is 8.1 and the ph of my compost is 5.5-6. Can i still use tapwater or should i use distilled bottled water or rainwater ? I don't have enough to buy a ph meter and i definitely would not want my plant to die. Maybe i should boil the tapwater ?
There are tiny white bugs in my soil and i did some research and i think they might be Springtails.
I also have a question, when i use my finger to check the moisture of the soil which part of the soil do i stick my finger into? Close to the edge ? Or like around in the middle near the plant ?
Day 2 Report.
Okay it's been day 2 since i planted my seeds and i'm surprised at the rate they are going, it's amazing being able to see the plant grow a little by little everyday !!
I have had some issues which i asked about but no one answered them sadly :/
Well anyway i took 3 pictures, one is when the seed sprouted and the other two was taken today to show progress. I'm not sure if i should water them yet because when i lift up the pot it still feels a little heavy but when i stick my finger into the soil it doesn't exactly feel moist or really dry but anyhow i still spray some water on the top layer. Cheers guys and stay tune for more

Hey guys, some help here. It's 5am here now and the temperature is 81F and the humidity is 89% but usually in the morning till afternoon it ranges from 81F to 88F and the humidity decreases till 59-66%. Meaning it will usually be high humidity at night till morning(before sunrise) and in the morning to afternoon the temperature will be higher but less humidity. Any help with this ? Like should i give lesser water or more water ? My plant is like 4 days old. Some help please, i'm getting really worried !!
Hey killernecrox, IMO just relax and give the plant good vibes.:hug: They are really resilient little things and a good rule of thumb when dealing with these guys is "less is more". It can live a lot longer with a little water in the soil rather than if its flooded so just keeping the watering schedule simple and consistent,.
