DISCLAIMER: I live in a state where growing marijuana is legal. For those looking to see if this is a good product for germinating cannabis seeds, this is the review for you.

Stop using paper towels. The investment to do it right is minimal compared to everything else you've spent to set up your grow.
I've had a 100% germination rate using these plugs with the Jump Start CK64050, Germination Station w/Heat Mat and that is with every strain I have tried. First wet the plug and add water to the germination station. Put the seed in the plug, don't push it down deep just open the hole a little and drop it in. Plug in the heat mat (weed tends to like warm root zones), and put the humidity dome on. After that you can just ignore it for 3 days. I say ignore it because you'll go insane if you keep checking on it. The first 2 or 3 days it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Wait for it. On the 3rd or 4th day the magic happens. The seed opens, and unfolds and goes from seed to sprout with starter leaves in the course of just one day. Then a day or two later it's ready to be planted (I use soil, but I think you can put this in a hydro system as well). You NEVER have to touch the seed again or the roots, so you never accidentally damage anything in the transplant, which is a risk people take using the paper towel method. If you're growing good strains, the last thing you need is to damage the plant at the start of its life cycle.

Sometimes the plant gets confused as to which way down is, and the root grows up. It's happened to me maybe 4 times. But don't try to fix it yourself. It'll figure it out on its own and bury itself back into the plug.

Now obviously I'm not planting 50 cannabis seeds at a time, it's only legal for me to have 6. This product only comes in packs of 50 and that scares some people away. But I've tried other brands that come in smaller quantities and meh, rapid rooter beats them all. Open the bag from the top where the ziplock is. Don't just rip it open. Take out how many plugs you need, ziplock the bag shut, then stick it in a tupperware and they'll stay moist.

Product as described, delivered on schedule. 100% germination ...

Product as described, delivered on schedule. 100% germination rate so far. I was at first advised to use these in open air, but they dry out very quickly exposed to air on all sides. 6-pack seedling starter trays are very cheap and help to keep these fast-drying rooters moist for longer periods, so I would definitely advise using a starter tray of some sort.

Great for Vegetable plant seeds

I have used rapid rooters for years with all my veggie plants, it's cheaper to start tomatoes, peppers, beans, and squash from seed so I purchase my seeds and plant them in the winter and have a couple LED grow lights in my basement. The rapid rooters keep the seed in one place, keeps them moist and provides a great growing environment. The ONLY down side is that they come in a package of 50 and I don't always need them in increments of 50. I have heard some people store them in the fridge or freezer, I have not tried this and I usually have 10-20 left over.

Used in an old aerogarden, don't quite fit but they work, and you can see roots explode out of the bottom.

Great for seed starting!

I have about an 85% success rate with these and my seedlings. Pretty good since a portion of that probably has to do with the viability of the seeds. I will be purchasing these again next season for starting my garden

HOLY CLONING MOLY

Super great for cloning just about any cutting you can think of. The plant cuts seem to love them. I initially puchased the tray to sit them in, but you can flip the rooters over pyramid style, cut 1/4'' to 1/2'' cut to put seed/plant cut in. That way you don't have to invest in their tray that holds the Rapid Rooters!

Little wet sponge like things that my dog seems to like to chew up. I probably need to not drop them on the floor. But seeing its bits and pieces all over the floor, made me think some had an accident

Good product , but could be cheaper IMO

I only took a star off because I think they could be a little cheaper, and because they staple it through the sealed bag, not sure if it really had any effect but I suspect over extended time it's not wise to leave them exposed to fresh air constantly if you want to keep them fresh..
