Forgot to mention that the hot table is just a table with some tubing
fixed to the top. It's really the tubing that's hot, not the table.

I use a hot table. I have a small undersink water heater (2 gallons) and
a circulating pump and a thermostat. Stick the thermostat sensor under a
flat on the table and use the thermostat to control the circulating
pump. This way I have a 5 x 10' table for propagation for the price of
about 3-4 heating mats.

I cover the unused parts of the table with cardboard or something to
reduce heat loss. (eventually the table is filled, but not all at once).

Does anyone know if there are any other ways to heat flats in
greenhouses other than heating pads for bottom heat? Is there a less
expensive way?

Is it possible to create a rainforest environment within my greenhouse
for heat and moisture in the middle of the winter and lake effect snow?
Dimensions for greenhouse are as follows: 12'X 8'X 20'
