Here’s the step-by-step to nail germination with Rapid Rooters in 2025. Follow this, and your seeds will pop faster than your neighbor’s Wi-Fi. Check our app for daily moisture and light tips to keep your grow on lock!
1. Soak the Plugs
Them:Drop Rapid Rooters in a tray with pH’d water (5.8-6.2) for 10-15 minutes. They should feel moist but not dripping. Why? Perfect moisture kicks off germination fast.
Me:Or drop Rapid Rooters in a bucket of 1 gallon distilled water with 5ml of CalMag for 24 hours. Why? Just doin' me and the seeds seem to like it.
2. Plant Your Seeds
Pop one seed per plug, 1/4 inch deep in the pre-drilled hole, use straw to expand hole if needed. Gently cover the seed with a pinch of peat from the bottom of the plug. Why? Snug fit ensures seed-to-soil contact.
3. Use a Humidity Dome
Place plugs in a tray under a humidity dome with vents slightly open. Keep at 75-80°F and 70% humidity. Control humidity and heat with dome vent(s). Why? Mimics a cozy greenhouse for fast sprouting.
4. Light and Moisture
Set a soft LED (20-50W) 18-24 inches above, 18/6 cycle. Mist plugs if they dry out, but don’t soak. Why? Gentle light and moisture keep seedlings happy.
5. Transplant to Medium
Once roots poke out (7-14 days), transplant plug directly into soil or coco. Don’t remove the plug! Make sure the plug is entirely covered. Why? Keeps roots safe for a smooth transition. Also, note: If your seedlings stretched (it happens), now is the time to bury the stem lower into the soil. The burried part of the stem will become part of the root system.
