    I use the riots, great bit of kit as long as you maintain the moisture levels. They dry out quickly. but I have had great results with my clones using them, & they are nice & tidy.
    I also use them for seeds with no issues.

    root riots all the way for me always get great results using these as said above they do dry out quite quickly but i use a heated proppergator with wet kitchen towel in the bottom and they never dry out. must say ive never used the jiffy bags so cannot coment on them

    Lol, up2nogood thats real unlucky man. Ive always used jiffy pellets and am impressed every time, more and more people rave about root riots but i have no reason to change, I recently bought some of the new coco jiffy pellets and noticed even faster root growth with those bad boys + they are so cheap.. I have a sack full of them in my garage that cost me like £3 from greens.

    yeah this is my first root riot I have ever used ..I always either use jiffys or soil but thought I would give these a go..I may try the new coco jiffy pellets,I have the other ones though.I think I may have to put that seedling into some medium quite soon

    Jiffy's, Keep moist for longer. After taking the cutting you only need to remoisten the Jiffy every 3-4 days. Usually have 100% success rate too.
