Seedlings Tipping Over!(Pics)

Hey guys. I just planted my germinated seeds on Saturday and they seemed to be doing good. The one that sprouted second grew relativley fast, however I came home today to find it toppled over and looking as thought it was dying. I have watered them much too vigorously as the top of the soil gets very dry very fast and they're in such a small growing medium. I really need some help though for the two plants that I have left that are still in good health! The top of the soil feels dry on one of them and the other I just watered again as it seemed completley parched. I'm only on day four by the way.

Here's a picture of my set up:

Healthy Plant:)(Day 4)

The healthy plant has probably been watered two or three times. I need some help on how often I should be watering my plants, I know that overwatering can kill them but I don't want my healthy one to dry out like the others! I'd appreciate any comments with advice or help,thanks guys!

Those aren't tipped over. They look like they just broke the surface. They should straighten up and shoot towards the light in a day or two. As far as watering 2-3 times a day, I typically water once every 4-5 days for sprouts.

dome it with a small clear plastic cup , blow into the cup before you place it over the weakned clone.......cant see any other probs except if those coir pots are impregnated with a fert (sometimes mg) 9/10 your in for over fertiztion........

edit........id agree with the above as i had a closeer peek and ms carter could be correct...there searchin the light source

Thanks Ms Carter! Appreciate the comments, sick plant number two had broke the surface and been thriving in my box for about two days but when i got home it had fallen over. When I researched further on the matter I was lead to believe that I had over watered my plants. The one that is healthy has only been watered lightly twice so I'm assuming that's why it's healthy. From now on though I think I'll stick with watering them every four to five days.

CMoon thanks for the advice. I have my plants set up in a jiffy pots from the great big greenhouse and I'm pretty sure they have no fertilizer in them and I'm using pro-mix soil.
