My issue with jiffy pellets are that they contain peat , peat breaks down and becomes very acidic , not good for an organic grow and your right , they are very cheap , i prefer to work soil less with canna products etc..
Sick of paying for Root riot cubes/ made my own...........

i dont see no reason for this not to work aslong as it has bin sterilized prior to cloneing i hope it works nothing wrong with trying new ideas its what the supply companys dont want you to do is homework lol i am guessing a person could even use ass wipe if he had to aslong as he kept it moist i think it would work

You can't reuse them smart guy. The plant will fill it with roots and it will get planted with the plant. Not even possible to reuse...

Ok , so far so good , i can see no difference as yet between the sponge and root riot , changed the water and cleaned tray etc right through.....
1 thing that i am eagerly awaiting the result for is this ,
someone like me who grows in tight restricted hard to get to open space, carrying heavy mediums to these places can be a big pain, also disposing and moving the medium after grow that i dont re-use is a real pain and very heavy,
if the results of this are good , i am going to attempt a "sponge in pot" grow, using canna nutes , this would be cool if i can pull it off , big savings to be had , with the cost of energy right now , cutbacks must be made.....
