Default New to planting grass seed--some questions

Hi, I've moved 26 times and this is the first time I've had to take care of my lawn myself. Had to sew some grass seed in some bare spots in the backyard today. (Lawn was aerated yesterday.) In this part of Florida, what is the best time of day to water? How long should I water new seeds? I have a non-motorized push mower (the old walk behind kind). Assuming it comes up, how long should I wait before cutting the new grass? I can set the height of the blades. Thanks!
