2nd time buying this product. Works great to clone plants.

Rapid Rooter starter pucks for hydroponics I've used these for a couple of years now as starters for my hydroponics garden. When stored and used properly, they provide excellent, consistent germination. But you need to take a few precautions to get the best results. 1. Store the pucks in a sealed plastic bag. Do NOT let them dry out! 2. Store the bag of pucks in a light-tight container, such as a grocery bag with the top folded over. If you let light get to the pucks during storage, you will grow an interesting array of mold and small plants before you toss the pucks in the garbage and start over. 3. Put one seed in each puck, then place the puck in a small COVERED(!) germination tray. The cover prevents the puck from drying out as the seed germinates. 4. Do NOT add any water to the puck after adding the seed. If stored properly as above, the puck has the right amount of moisture to start germination. If you add water, even a drop, you will end up with damping-off fungus (white wispy fungus) that will kill your seedling. 5. After your seedling germinates, add a drop or two of water ONLY if the puck feels dry. If it feels damp or wet, do NOT add water! With the above tips, I have hit 100% germination rates on everything I try, including tomatoes, peppers, bush beans, and several different lettuces. I usually leave the puck in the germination tray until the first pair of true leaves appear, then move the puck to a hydro bucket. Great product; my hydro garden succeeds because of these pucks. Highly recommended.

these always make planting easier when dealing with finicky baby plants , used many of these and they never disappoint me.

Soaked seeds for 12-16 hours, pop these into soaked rapid rooter cubes and then wait. Almost 100% germination rates. I don’t leave mine “in water”, but use these little rapid rooter/plug plastic holders which are readily available at stores. Holds moisture for a couple of days depending on humidity and east to transfer to large medium to grow. Rapid rooter makes seed germination simple and reliable.

Cloning and seedlings

They work really well, plants are very happy and healthy. Just a tad on the expensive side for what you get.

I bought these along with some rockwool when starting my hydroponic hobby. I wanted to see how these compared to the rock wool in terms of germination, rooting and overall plant health. So I planted the same seeds in Rapid Rooter and rockwool. I placed them in the same germination setup with a controlled temperature of 75 degrees. For this experiment Lettuce and Swiss Chard was used. After the first 48 hours both media had sprouts. The Rapid Rooter group had small roots already forming. With another 48 hours the roots in the rapid rooter group EXPLODED. The root growth was unbelievable. The rockwool still had none. The rapid rooter group is now ready to be moved to their DWC to continue growing while the rock wool roots are barely visible. I would recommend this product to anyone looking to germinate their seeds quickly and healthy.
