1. read the package for light requirements,all plants are different.as far as water,they should be kept moist for germination,and as the plants grow,water deeply 2-3 times a week,do the roots will follow their water supply.
2. It really depends on the variety of plants you are using. Tomatoes love sun, as do most other veggies. While flowers like a little shade, especially during the heat of the day. Watering isn't an exact science either. Generally, the plants will tell you when they're thirsty by wilting a bit. Over watering is bad since it can cause fungus and rot. Just use some common sense, and remember, everything in moderation.
3. at least four hours a day
4. IF YOU ARE IN BRITAIN, THEY WILL GET ENOUGH SUNLIGHT. YOU CAN WATER THEM EVERY OTHER DAY, MORNING OR NIGHT. TRY TO AVOID IN BETWEENN TIMES
