My 1st grow + pics - thoughts and advice welcome :)

So I decided to grow my own weed for personal use :) I'm only going to be growing 4 plants in a small closet built into the wall of a bedroom in my house. The room is only 3x3 foot but should be fine for 4 plants alone. Ive done alot of research on grow rooms and built it as proffesionally as I could (pics)

The strain ive decided to grow is pineapple kush in soil... Have already germinated the seeds and planted into 3 inch pots 48 hours ago as of now. Current room temp. is 25c and 49% humidity(I cant seem to get the humidity any higher) The pics I've uploaded were taken about 10 minutes ago prior to this post :)

Currently I have a 60w florescent 3 inches above each plant, on 24h a day. The other 2 lights will come on when the other 2 plants have sprouted and are ready of course. After a couple of weeks I'm going to change to a 400w MH and probably change to 18/6 and then I plan to use a 600w HPS for the final flowering stage...

One of my concerns at this moment in time is the fact that my soil is drying out very fast... I'm giving them both 15 squirts each from my water bottle every night when I get home from work (which seems to be the perfect amount without drowning them I think) and from what I'm reading people are watering there seedlings once every 2-3 days so I'd appreciate any suggestions as to why my soil seems to be drying out so fast :)

Also if I'm doing something wrong or could be doing something better please let me know :D

To stop soil drying too quickly you can make something like this:

and it will also bring the humidity up.

Keep those lights as close as possible to avoid stretching.
Those babies are lookin good so far, have a nice grow!

i like how u fully utilized the small space i think things will go great umm about switching to 16 8 im not sure if u wanna because 24 is good and u may stress plants and make the hermi or maLE
only thing i dont fully agree with because i use 24 all the time and its very trusty for me
but if u decide to do tell me how it turns out so i knoww u know also i tthink that humidity u got is perfect

Only thing I would suggest so far is moving the light closer. With floros you can have it literally on top of them. Looking good though hombre.
