How you like them? I have only ever seen them online...
Are they like a sponge or somethin?

I got them a local grow shop as a sample lol, I took 3 bags to sample..
And the are a cotton sponge, this is my first time to use them I usually use rapid rooters for clones but I take so many it gets really expensive And I use jiffy pellets for seeds but they dry up real fast, these seem to hold more water for longer and they are suppose to be very cheap. And they make huge ones too. I like them because they are ph neutral and seem to be very clean... like medically clean and they are made from cotton...

But for sure better the rock wool man I hate that gordan cubes.. Fucking expensive euro trash if you ask me...heheh

You could get like 250 peat plugs for that price, yeah they are kinda pricey

guess the rock wool is high but im grown hydro ,cant really use peat ,unless i wanna transplant . i dont like mess n with the seed after i plant it. i hear coco coir works real . how much r those sure grow cubes?

Who says you can't use peat plugs in hydro?
Where did you read that? Got any links?
Didn't think so, you can use peat plugs in hydro. I am doing it right now

.. So that means they could sue me for selling my genetics..When I had them first!!!!! That fucked up!!!! I am sorry I am not talking shit about you I am talking shit about posers with money trying to monopolize marijuana...



its not just that, basically any seed is up for patent wether cannabis or not. all of our plant products, and the food that our livestock are fed are all genetically engineered and patented.

ok bro i thought u ment the something else i had this peat thing that came with a dome and u put the seed n it and add water. completly different lol.... so u r telling me no dirt will get n my bubbler if i use peat plugs?

What you are thinking of is the same thing that I am talking about
The net cup should stay dry while the roots sticking through are in the water
I don't see how dirt would get in the rez

until the roots hit the water i use feeder tubes its called bubbleponics the peat could wash through and clog my pump .

Bubbleponics is a joke, DWC will give you the same results without the water pump to clog your shit
Do a side by side one with and one without a water pump both clones from the same mom
I can GUARANTEE that they will yield the same or very close

whatever im not put dirt n my dro set up !!!!!!

Do what you want but you still have a lot to learn
You still have a lot of room for improvement, maybe you would get better results without the water pump
I can post pics of what I get with DWC if you'd like

what i think she looks damgood considering what shes bn through first grow and all just doesnt make sence putn dirt n a hydro gro later

It's not dirt fool
it is a small peat plug that you put in the hydroton pebbles, smaller than a rockwool cube

It can be used in hydro, I have seen it used in aeroponics with no problems and that is the easiest system to clog

i used peat plugs in my GenHydro WaterFarm and they worked awesome! they were these weird 2 1/2" - 4" long plugs plrobably 1/2" square at the top where the seed went and tapered down to the bottom. anyhow.. they did AWESOME! WaterFarm used a drip ring up top (pushed by air displacement) and i added air stone to the res for the roots. worked great. peat/jiffy work AWESOME in hydro systems. hell, GenHydro SELLS Rapid Rooters from their website!!! clearly, THEY endorse them... (fyi this wasnt a GH endorsement lol)

to each their own, just know tom is right. i understand you have a personal preference. but to say that peat ("dirt"? WAY off) would not work in a hydro system, is false!
