I think the OP was looking for something like this...
If you buy substrate from Home Depot make sure to check for this "........" otherwise, this could happen "........"
If you don't use a thermostat, this could happen "........"
If you don't have the proper humidity, this could happen "........"
If you don't properly secure your rack, this could happen "........"
And so on......
A general check list of some do's and don'ts doesn't seem like a bad idea.
