 Everyone is going to have different conditions available to them, and therefore different variables they aim to control within their germination box, but here are some ideas of what to consider. Everyone is going to have different conditions available to them, and therefore different variables they aim to control within their germination box, but here are some ideas of what to consider.

 Once the seedlings get to the point they are ready to be uncovered, air movement via a fan is strongly recommended. Additionally, humidity is a factor that influences growth rate as well as many common health issues. Optimal humidity would be around 0.8 VPD at night. VPD is a way to measure humidity relative to temperature - google VPD charts or get a controller that is capable of controlling VPD.  During the day, generally low humidity is desirable for drying the substrate and preventing fungus, mold, pests, and disease. You have some wiggle room on these values as long as you don't have humid stagnant air during the day or bone dry air at night. Once the seedlings get to the point they are ready to be uncovered, air movement via a fan is strongly recommended.

 Lights need a timer, heat mats need a soil probe thermostat. Bonus points if you can control the relative humidity/VPD. Even better if you can automate separate day and night settings. There are reptile tank controllers available that have separate day and night settings and monitor and control the light timer, dehumidifier, fan, and heat mat, all in one. Lights need a timer, heat mats need a soil probe thermostat.
