Germination/Seedling Stage

Question

I’m starting my first legit garden and I started everything in .5 pint sized styrofoam containers. They all have clear plastic lids and I usually take lids off during the day and water them enough, I think, then put lids on at night. I just don’t know if I’m doing this properly. All seeds are organic and “Guaranteed to grow.” My question is, what is the proper way of getting the best results for the first few stages of the plant?
