Default rapid rooters vs rockwool
so i bought a tray full of rapid rooters about 3 weeks ago and i cloned enough to fill the whole tray its been week and a half 2 weeks almost now and im getting no roots, really dissapointing seeing how so many people praise these things saying there the best medium for clones, im used to rockwool and had a high sucess rate with clones rooting in a mere 7 days, if it aint broken dont fix it i guess, but i seem to have a problem with dampening off, its just way too far of a fine line between soaked and bone dry its really a pain in the ass this is the last time ill be using these things, but im wondering is there a secret? cause im trying different water amounts etc and nothing seems to be working, my technique is the same soak is the same but nothing! any advice appreciated cause i got about 10 left, ill give it one more shot

i hate them. rockwool is my preference. why make things more complicated when rockwool is so easy.

yeah they fall apart, hardly re-usable cant stick a tag thru them cause they stretch like crazy, and its difficult to get a peek if your curious to check on root development without damage, besides being ph stable out of the box i think these things are complete GARBAGE any nay-sayers?

I also cut my cubes in half, so one pack is actually double. dont need all that rockwool just to root my plant.

I use rapid rooters and have great results. I think it all comes down to what works for you
