Should I stick with the way I am doing it now or should i water until i see it come out of the drainage holes? I don't know the exact pot size but i say it about 7x6 inches.

what type of soil? when u water, water until it drains out, then to test, stick your finger in soil about 2", if still moist, then wait & try another day, its ok to let the soil dry out for a day. but a 12 day old plant doesnt need water that offten. another way to tell is by weight, water it, lift it up to feel how heavy it it, & the lift it up when soil is dry, you should notice the weight difference. if its light, then water. u w/ me. oh if your worried bout overwatering, just add 3% hydrogen peroxicide to the water, @ a rate of 1-2 cap full of HP to 1gal of water, this gives u extra o2 to roots.
