For clones I just use a jiffy, clonex and a heated propergator - Works everytime.
Seeds - A little tub with damp cotton wool in on my laptop battery - Doesn't work everytime lol. I might just start germin in a jiffy next time and see how that works out for a change.
Rockwool cubes for me, thn once theyv started flyin I jus pop th cube into the pot of pebbles, Jove done, used to use jiffys but bk web I never knew a thing and never really got results, ( not running jiffys it was me own noob fault) havnt tried root riots
rockwool for me too...nice and easy, cant really over feed unless your a tit...i use phd water until the look ready for a bit of formulex and gradually build the strengths up

Do you guys use pucks for seedlings after germinating?
i use root riot, every seed ive ever germed in one has popped, put 4 into them less than a week ago and they're already bout an inch tall
hi newbie here,has anybody had problems with insects using jiffy pucks/pellets? i seem to have gotten thrips since i started using them, could be a coincidence and also 1 of my weaker clones started to rot so i pulled it out the pellet and there was a couple of small 2mm white worms/maggots attached to the roots.made me WORRY about them spreading pests to my flowering babies.
mmmmm all this talk of root riots, jiffies etc,.
just ran this little test on a couple of seeds. Both pre-soaked in tepid water/seaweed for 18hrs. One germed directly in soil, one in a jiffy. Otherwise exactly the same conditions.
And the soil germed one has done way way better than the jiffy.
I have a feeling that all this paper towel transplanting gubbinses is more for our benefit so we can see things occurring. All good, but better for the plant to get her root down in to dark loamy goodness a.s.a.p
peace
