I recently tried General Hydroponics Rapid Rooter Starter Plugs for germinating seeds, and I have been extremely pleased with the results. These little plugs have made the process of starting seeds a breeze.First and foremost, the convenience of using Rapid Rooter plugs is a major advantage. They are pre-moistened and ready to use right out of the box, which saves a lot of time and hassle. No need to soak or prepare them beforehand. No filling trays with soil/ starter, just insert your seeds and watch them take off!The success rate with these plugs has been impressive. I've had a high percentage of seeds germinate and develop strong, healthy root systems. It's clear that these plugs provide an ideal environment for seedlings to thrive. The consistency of the medium ensures even moisture distribution, which is crucial for successful germination.One of the standout features of Rapid Rooter plugs is their compatibility with various growing methods. Whether you're using them in a traditional soil-based setup or a hydroponic system, they work seamlessly. The plugs are also pH balanced, which helps maintain a stable growing environment for your seedlings.Another benefit is their durability. These plugs hold up well over time, and you can even reuse them for multiple rounds of seed starting if you're careful when removing the seedlings.The only minor drawback I've found is that they can be a bit on the expensive side compared to other seed-starting methods. However, the convenience and success rate more than make up for the cost in my opinion.In conclusion, General Hydroponics Rapid Rooter Starter Plugs are a fantastic choice for anyone looking to start seeds successfully. They're easy to use, highly effective, and versatile for different growing systems. I highly recommend them to both novice and experienced gardeners looking to give their seeds the best possible start. These plugs have certainly earned a permanent spot in my gardening toolkit.

Wow, these really work fast. I received these on the 11th, I put a cucumber seed down the center and put it in my Alto tower and now it is the 15th and the sprout is already popping up. Using rockwool was way slower. I highly recommend these

I use these in my Lettuce Grow with great success. I have tried several other seed starter plugs in the past but i keep coming back to these. They are a touch more expensive that some other brands but these seed starters do not mold, nor to they attract nearly as many fruit flies as some other products i have used. I assumes that most hydroponic systems have different sizes so i cannot speak to that but for my purposes theses are the best!I keep the remainders inteh same bag they were shipped in and I have never had issues with mold anything like that. I can can attest that I store them in a greenhouse and in my garage both of which can get stuffy and humid, and i still can rely on them even after opening the package for a year or even two. Great product.

I own a Rise Garden and was looking for a cheaper alternative for their seed pods. This brand works well. I wrap the top in foil, place in the net cups, poke a hole in the top and plant the seeds. These are more moist than the Rise Garden brand and they seem to be more prone to mold, but my plants grew well. I will be buying these again. They are a great value for the money and are easy to use.

The instructions were clear and the plugs were seemingly high quality. One clipping has rooted already

Exactly what I needed. I pulled all plugs and put in a ziplock as I only use 4 at a time every couple months.They worked great, so much easier than dealing with a cup of dirt

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.
