I use them for all my soil grows, whether i'm starting from seed or clones. I usually mix a gal of ph'd water with h202 and 2 drops of super thrive. Then soak the pucks until they swell all the way and place on a bed perilite that is wet with the same solution

There good for about the first 5 days, then the roots come out and it needs to be transplanted

Peat pallets are always my favorite to use. I start all my seeds and also use them for cloning. I recommend to use them! My clone rate using peat pallets is always between 90-100%

Cheers guys

I was just wondering cause some people say there bad.

and are the better than rockwool ?

--like which one is better to start seeds in and then transplant into soil?


Cheers

 

[chronichaze]

I prefer them over rockwool. They hold more water and dont dry out as fast.

Cheers chronichaze.
Do you grow in or out ??


Teach me your ways. ahah

 

[chronichaze]

Well I grow indoors but read a little on this site and learn your own ways. Everybody grows differently, just gotta experience it yourself to find out what you like. I am in no line to teach anybody. The only lesson I can teach is too read as much as you can. And then some more.

I just started this thread cause i'm thinking bout doing about a 60 plant grow and jiffy's are just quick and easy.

How much water do you have to use on each jiffy to expand them

Hi ya Rtoke

If this is your first grow .... i would NOT recomend 60 plants lol ...no WAY !

Ok with that said ... Jiffys are pretty cool .... Soak them in PH ballenced water overnight with some 1/8 sternth Root Rromoter and a few drops of H2o2 ( Hydrogenperoxide) squeeze em out a bit and set them in a warm place in the dark ... pop your seed in and it should do the rest ... Or you can paper towl till it cracks then drop it in

 

[Rtoke]

Na its not my first grow, just i haven't use jiffy's before and was just thinking bout using them cause there quick and easy.

Ant hydrogen peroxide like bleach, and do i soak the jiffy's in a bucket of water or just a small amount of water? because you only want then moist not whet aye ?

How much water do you have to use on each jiffy to expand them

As much as you can get them to hold. I get mine completely drenched, sobbing wet. It won't drip, and won't be too wet either. And just use plain ol tap water. no big deal

 

[Rtoke]

Cheers mate !!

 

[Rtoke]

Whats better, a peat pellet or a peat pot filled with peat moss.

Cheers

i always take a tumbler glass (8oz. iirc) fill it about 1/3 full place the pellet in for 1-2 minutes, poke a hole, insert clone/seed/ling, put jusst enough water/sloution in the trays to fill the channels, mist dome/cuttingsput the dome back on, mark the date, and tape it shut for a week (my domes are vented, a little), open

 

[chronichaze]

Use the paper towel method till the seed has a tail and then put it in a peat pallet

 

[Rtoke]

What about this -

on the propagation bottom tray fill will perlite 1-2 cm high then place all the peat pellets on top of the perlite then put the lid on ??

cheers
