There's some rude people on this site.
Anyway... Someone mentioned that you should water every 3 days. There's no set amount of days that you should water. It all depends on the grow. What size pots you have, the temperature, the RH, how big your plants are, etc. You were on the right path when you were sticking your finger in the soil. Stick it in there an inch or two and see if the soil is still damp. If it is, give it another day or two. The leaves on your plant will start to droop when they are thirsty..... but they'll also droop if you give them too much water.
I like for my soil to dry almost completely out. To the point where the first inch or 2 is completely dry, with almost no moisture. Then flood the heck out of it. So if your in a 5 gallon pot, give it 5-10 gallons of water. That allows your roots to get some oxygen, just make sure to really flood it, otherwise you can develope dry spots.
And I cant see your prictures, maybe because Im new to this site and dont know how to work it, but if your plants have just sprouted or were just rooted, then take it easy on the nutes. I actually like to give nothing but tap water to them for the first week or two. I might throw in 1 or 2 feedings of 1/4 strength nutes, but I do it lightly. This makes your root grow bigger, because they start to grow out in search of nutrients. Once you have a solid and healthy root structure, your usually good to go.
