AJ Hicks at the OSP has a great short book on the subject for hobbyists. I think he also has a more scientific one that is much more detailed (and expensive.)

You really need a good seal in order to keep contamination out of the prepared flasks. Venting the lids is definitely the way to go. I hope the band aids work for you. I use the "sterile spots"...

In my experience, germinating seed ex vitro is not the challenge. It's the growing on to a self-sustaining size plant that is the hard part. Keep us updated on your progress.

I would think that officers in Texas should be used to dealing with sun shades and very familiar with the procedures for them, especially parking/traffic officers.
