I just use plastic water bottles, the small ones, and cut them almost in half, add either a few small pebbles or some marbles, add either a grow plug ( sponge) or your seed start mix to about three inches, spray them planting medium until about a quarter inch in the bottom, plant your seeds in there, pencil the top to cover seeds, ( that is what I use to move things around since the bottles are so tall) and then tape the top on and leave lid on the top and stick in the window sill. where i have no space in windows, i use the lights. no heat mats. they do get darkness at night. they might get cold against the window. I feel since it works, it is okay. when plants are comig out the tops, time to take lid off and start hardening them off. My buddah belly was started this way, and then moved to it's present pot.
