Growth TechnologyRoot Riot (Bag of 100) loose

I turned away from box standard Rockwool plugs to use Root Riot cubes a long time ago. Success rates when cloning are now 100% with rarely any loss due to the pre-soaked/enriched cubes offering a far more welcoming root zone than that of Rockwool which involves far more preparation and monitoring than Root Riot. Although the cubes come pre-soaked I generally end up adding a little more moisture. Understandably, older shelf stock does often arrive a little dryer than cubes just leaving the factory floor so a little bit of adjustment is necessary but for beginners or people who are happy to pay a few pounds extra for an easier life then these are the plugs you need!! I observe rooting emerging from the plugs in 10-14days (when using clonex rooting hormone). I can't imagine using anything else other than Root Riot and Clonex together to produce my clones. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to all.

EDIT: the supplier confirmed it was a manyfacturing error and immediately replaced the missing cubes. Excellent custiker service.Just remember to check the number of cubes when you open the bag.Original Review:I ordered a bag of 100. I cannot believe there are only 80 in the bag!!!Now the bag does say approx 100. And if 1 or 2 were missing I wouldn't be bothered. But 20? Absurd.

Easy to use product for rooting cuttings as you can see when individual cuttings have rooted,and these are then very easy to pot up. Works best for cuttings where stems are a little stiff as soft tip cuttings are more difficult to insert into the block without damaging the stems. And need to take care if using rooting powder that it does not get rubbed off the stem as it is inserted into the block. But even with these negatives I have found this a really useful product, particularly where space is at a premium, to use alongside more conventional methods.

Not the best quality, some disintegrated in my hand as I took them out the packet, but not too bothered as they're cheap and they do the job!

These little cubes produced some amazing strawberries this year.

Good for seeds but dry out far too fast in a propogator!

I have used these for years... I will continue to do so.. I would soak them in water before use then squeeze the water out and then after planting the seeds I would water them with a mix of mycorrhizal and water. Very rare a seed doesn't pop out this way and I don't water untill the outer ones have started to dry then give them a soak again.

Got exactly what i ordered.Thanks 😊
