This is my first time doing a greenhouse type setup. The lights seem very warm. The temp consistently shows ~80F and this is without any heat mats turned on. Is this fine for germination and growth afterwards? I also have a soil thermometer that has the soil temp at 77F. Any advice is welcome. Along with humidity recommendations

What are you growing?
When I started seeds inside on a rack like that, I used LED lights and kept the rack in a room on my second floor. Air temp was probably about 69-70 degrees. I’d start tomatoes, peppers, etc.
I also grew them on the same set up in my basement that keeps a steady 60 degrees.
In each case, they grew really fast. I can’t put them out until mid May at the earliest. More heat would’ve meant faster growth.
Regardless, get a fan in there.
I have that same thermometer and its 2-3 degrees F different than my thermopro. Keep that in mind
