So I have 4 little Tupperware containers that im placing paper towel in (1 sheet on bottom) and then damp, then seeds, and one more damp towel over the top, should I close these Tupperware with the top? Or just leave it open?

I've used paper towel with almost 100% success.

Only had one dud which was a afghan kush ryder from WOS.

I literally just had a Dinafem Critical + pop in just over 24 hours.
Alot of it is personal preference, different methods work for different people.

I do it this way too, except I like to use more perlite and less soil. I've learned that germinating the seeds in anything other then where I want them to set down roots increases the chances I'll fuck it up.

yeah i've heard that the paper towel will hurt the tiny roots that are growing out of it, it's better to just use a plastic cup and label it.

Yes, the paper towel method requires a moisture lock.
