Water before planting seed necessary?

[Maamba1234]

So I’m a first time grower, growing autflower. Me medium consist of 50% mixed compost soil ,30% coco and 20% perlite. So the soil was moist already but not wet also the same pot it’s coco. But I forgot to pour water before I put the seed. So I Watered after around 30-40ml. I had kept my seed in water glass for 18 hrs. And I’m using fabric 3gal pot.
So what should I do, I’m really flipping? I just started and made a mistake. What should I do now? Water a bit more? Thank you

Just use a spray bottle.
And spray where you plantet the seed. Just keep it moist.
you don’t need to water the whole pot
I’ve always start in my final pot, 40 L. And using the spray bottle up to 2-3 weeks after it sprouting through the soil.

Okay. I did a little spraying but not much. Because I’ve wasted 3 seeds low this is my 4th try. It’s been 21hours now now sign of sprouting yet. Will wait a day or 2 S hoping for the best

3-5 days is not unnormal before it comes up from the soil
