This is my first time starting with seeds I'm using the double cup method. How often are you watering yours? Do I need to do anything else after up potting till they go in the ground? I have some at various stages and didn't realize how much work or how much space this would take up lol. It is work but I enjoy every minute of it.
Any and all advice or comments would be appreciated, thanks!

Overview
I did a double solo cup method, where I would put water in the bottom cup and then poke little holes in the top cup and then it would water itself from the bottom. Is that what you’re doing or are these just single solo cups?
I second it being a lot of work but enjoying it. I am learning a lot as I go. This subreddit is very helpful and has a lot of seasoned gardeners which is nice for us newbies. Yours look green and healthy to me!! The soil does look really moist though. Just be careful to not keep them moist all the time because that will cause root rot. I am not using the double cup method but I know it’s not good for seedlings or plants for that matter to sit in water all the time. Just my two cents. 🙂
You must have done lots of homework because your babies are looking robust. Good luck to you! 🍀
Keep them moist and sunny as per what you’d think plants would like.
Additionally for tomatoes use a small fan as they get a little bigger. This makes the stalks and leaves move a little creating stronger growth. Not wind, just a slight breeze. Turn the cups every so often. Maybe on half the day.
If this is in your basement, get the pots off the cold floor.
