Pressure sterilize your jars @ 15psi for 60 min. Put the filter disks and lid rings on loosely and foil the tops. Once they are cool enough to handle, let them cool in the hood you plan to do work in.

As for lighting, give them HOT5 fluorescents, 6500k

 
If I don't have that special light can i use a reptile heat uv lamp that i have?
No, the heat will cook them and UV is not used in photosynthesis. Standard T8 fluorescent tubes would be a better choice for a budget setup, either "daylight" tubes in the 6500k range or the old school mix of warm white and cool white tubes will work for most plants.
