Default Bottom Watering Seedlings

I know I read about bottom watering seedlings on a post here somewhere but cannot find it
I have always misted from above but wanted to know about bottom watering

Do you just place the 1020 tray without drains - put some warm water - and place tge seedling plug tray into the 1020?

How much water ? just enough so the peat etc wicks the water?
I suppose one should have a water sensor to test the soil
seems like it would save time from daily checking and misting dry cells

What do you do after you pot up - top or bottom


Please let me know your experiences

Thanks
Dennis
