EASY 'no-touch' seed germination ...
I don't see the link anymore, was a couple years ago ... it's extremely simple, really ... check my pics above to see what I mean ... I bought two Rubbermaid tubs at WalMart ... that way, I not only had a clear humidity dome, from the extra bottom, but it also gave me an extra lid, to cover screw-ups, or even make an alternate lid configuration (dozen small holes in one, for cloning/seed starting, OR a couple large ones for vegging pots, if you so choose) ... the clear plastic bottom must be sprayed with black paint (Krylon 'Fusion' spray can works well), or covered with tape, etc, to keep light away from your solution (algae) ... then a couple long airstones, the 'curtain type', and a decent-sized air pump ... mine holds about 1.5 gallon of solution, (just pour in enough water to sit a couple inches or more under the bottom of the rapidrooters, enough to keep them damp, but not submerged) ... expenses: tub runs $3-$5, two 'aircurtains' set ya back about $15-$20, and a larger dual-outlet airpump another $15-$20 ... you will need a small aquarium heater, a 10gal. model is about $15, and is very necessary ... paint, $5, and a hole saw (if ya dont already have one) is another $8-$10, in WalMart Tools section ... get one anyway, they really come in handy, from drilling out Harley baffles, to making bubble-cloners

Treetops does basically the same thing, running his entire grows in Folger's cans ... goes to show, you don't have to spend much money at all :thumbsup:
