Starting out some plants....

Hey:

I have started planted 9 seeds in 3 pots, to ensure success of germination. I have a question about watering to get germinated, and lighting. I have then in natural sunlight right now (in the dorm, can't rig up nothing to fancy yet) and am watering them in the height of the sunlight, when the soil is driest from evaporation. It is already dry as shit where I live (AZ) so I dont need to worry about that. Any tips on lighting, watering, and generally germination and seedling success?

Peace
