i have tried a few different items for this
Peat pucks - are ok but i dont like how much water they retain.
Rockwool starters - these i use quite often for clones they work well.
Coco Pucks - i think these are probably the best for clones and seeds i currently use these for cloning. But have used them for starting seeds.

I would also have to say coco coir.
Jiffy/peat pucks also typically aren't pH stable. Sphagnum peat is quite acidic (even if it was sustainably harvested), it can be used but I would drench them in water that has dolomite lime in it first to bring the pH up and stabilize it. Rapid Rooters are preferable over both coir or sphagnum peat for cuttings.

i agree. rapid rooters are the best IMO. jiffy peat pots definitely work but ph is very low and they sometimes hold too much water causing mold. go with rapid rooters you wont be sorry.

Yep. coco. I just had to deal with a very significant nutrient lockout because of the peat moss' tendency to biodegrade and the ph drops dramatically. Transplanting and a ton of TLC saved her, but I wont make that mistake again...
