Hi, I germinated my seeds overnight & planted them 1/4 inch tip facing down into the soil, I did this 3 days ago. One of the seeds has pushed itself to the top & the seed is still there with a green thing inside... is this normal?

I also noticed that my soil is drying up every 3 hours, I have a 250W HPS light & its 3 foot away from the plants. How much should I be watering?

Also my ballast is extremely hot (cant touch it) is this normal?

Any ideas & help would be appreciated.
Thanks Dude0
