Welcome to THCF, and wishing you good luck on your patio grow. Overwatering is a common mistake made by noobs (like myself). Take some time and read @Aqua Man 's threads on watering protocol and you'll be good in that respect.

this way is so easy and to this day any seed that i’ve bought has germinated.
i place seeds in a cup of water with hydrogen peroxide at a strength between 7-10%. leave in glass for 10-12 hours. in the mean time i get my cup with promix almost fill, make a small indentation into the promix and make a small bed of peat (soak a pellet take off net, there’s some peat). when time use spoon to take out seed and place on peat bed, cover with peat and promix 3/4 to inch deep, this way you’ll hopefully avoid a helmet head, seeds are usually all up within 4 days, water with spray bottle, put in grow area, temps 75-80, humidity 65-75%, on a tray? on a heating mat if available, set on the timer with lights to go off/on with lights.
small fan for airflow.
hands never touch the seed..
but i get you have to do what your comfortable with till you get sick of it.

I’m not sure if I can get someone else to agree with me, but personally if I were you id transplant and take them out of the peat cups. Otherwise it might not degrade and root bound ur plants. Right before u posted this thread I seen a video on YouTube about it and seen the evidence I’ll try to find it
