    Default Jiffy 7 Plugs. Are they garbage?

    I bought a full bag of these starter plug. I germinate in a paper towel then plant into the plugs. Every seed I have put into these things have just frazzled with nute burn, they survive but the plugs must have to much feed in them unless I have had a bad batch. Anyhow I have binned them.

    I only feed PH'd tap water @ 0.2 ec for the first few weeks. Anyone else had problems with them?

    I've never tried those toblue, but by the sounds of it... they might be too hot or sure.


    I have had VERY good success with 'root riot' plugs and would definitely recommend...100% success rate (so far) by soaking beans in water for 24 hours, then straight into these plugs, Bob's Your uncle and Fanny's your aunt

    Thanks lads, I presume clones have already built up a tolerance to nutrients, Maybe just to strong for seeds.
    Back to root riot plugs for seeds I think.

    Check which plugs you buy. You can get coco & compost ones... and (whilst I may be wrong) feeding a compost one form the very beginning doesn't sound wise
