Germination Issues?

TBH my main query was around watering, am I right in saying the consensus was water initially and that's it until they have germinated?

That's what I prefer, though I do water a bit if the surface of the compost is getting dry.

I have been using a spray bottle with my propogator if the compost appears to be drying I mist spray over it, and that way I’m not over wetting it. It seems to work for me.
