Coco coir.
Water edges of container or the plant itself?
I heard it's practically hydroponic and it shouldn't get below 90% saturation?
My understanding is that a "safe" measure is to add 5% of the total volume of the container. This should give you 10%-20% of that added amount as runoff. So if the container is 500ml I add 25ml once daily and get 2.5 - 5ml runoff. It is elevated and doesn't sit in any moisture.

if its coco and soil mix then it needs to dry a bit, even coco i would water centre out , it can still dry around the plant pot but not around the roots all the time , let it dry a bit more then water centre of pot out , its a tiny little baby it doesn't need a pot full of water yet 
This is how i would first water , small pot or starter big pot , little and often ( give you an idea ) I'm not great at explaining lol i ph also to 5.6 , lots don't bother with seedling but i like to ph all the time ( give me something more to do )
I use a different ph throughout the grow just to be awkward

If it's straight coco, don't let it dry out "completely". It will get hard and kill your baby, BUT, she looks way wet, so back off on the watering a bit, but don't let that coco get hard...I know it's confusing, but you'll get it
i went from doing them in coco core and perlite as they wouldn't grow as good, put them in peat moss mix they grew better for me , even the seedlings germed faster and broke through better and stronger looking ,
Now i use coco fibre, broke down peat moss and perlite , seems to be a better potting starter mix
sat like this for over a week doing sod all > just stayed WET lol
week for 2 and 12 days later for the bigger , in dryer soil

Haha you did great

I'll keep an eye on it.
