GH Rapid Rooter 50/Pack Replacement Plugs (12/Cs)

Rapid Rooter® replacement plugs are a great all-natural choice to start the seedlings and cuttings. These soil less grow plugs are used for cuttings and germination, and for the seedling stage of one to two weeks after transplant. They fit into the normal propagation trays and are compatible with soil and hydro applications.

Natural Composition

Rapid Rooter® plugs are all natural soilless organic grow plugs made of composted tree bark and organic materials. These plugs are free of soil, peat and synthetic fillers. The bark offers rigidity with aeration due to the fiber’s natural existence, while the organic fibers retain humidity. This combination results in a stable, oxygen‑rich medium that rapidly expands young roots with new cuttings or seedlings.

• Decomposed Tree Bark: Provides rough texture for aeration around the root system.
• Organic Components: Add coconut coir or other plant or fibre to help hold the water.
• No Artificial Additives: Keeps plugs 100% natural and environmentally friendly.

Uniform Shape and Size

Rapid Rooter® plugs are each one of a kind, and made of a soilless most blend that is ready to use upon receiving. Nozzled plugs provide precise water distribution, exposure to light and nutrients. This uniformity allows the grower to predict germination times and minimize the risk of a flimsy or late sprout.

• Diameter: Approximately 1.25 inches (32 mm)
• Height: Approximately 1.5 inches (38 mm)
• Cells per Tray: Fits standard 50‑cell trays or similar propagation systems.

Superior Root Development

Rapid Rooter® plugs are all natural soilless grow plugs made of composted tree bark and organic materials. The roots can grow freely through the fibrous structure. Once roots get to the plug’s edge, they are exposed to air, causing them to prune roots, leading to natural branching. This air‑pruning process encourages a dense, healthy root ball that is ready for transplant.

1. Prevents spiraling when the roots reach the edge of the pot.
2. Results in stronger, more vigorous plants.
3. Heavy root mass accepts media rapidly.

Easy Transplanting

Transplanting with Rapid Rooter® plugs is quick and easy. The grower pulls out the whole plug from the tray cell and places it into the prepared soil or soilless medium. The roots do not have to be disentangled or the fine root tips disturbed.

1. Wet plugs before lifting to prevent desiccating roots.
2. Press up from below the cell to release.
3. Apply the plug guide over the plug. Do not cover the plug guide's smooth surface.
4. A gentle soaking is needed to allow the plug to enter its new home.

Improved Germination Rates

Rapid Rooter® plugs are better for germination than any soil. The uniform moisture and oxygen contents inside each plug provide an optimum atmosphere for seed germination. The light‑sensitive seeds can also be spread on the surface of plugs for simple observation.

Handling and Storage

Correct handling and storage are crucial to get the plugs' best performance.

Storage Tips

• Keep it in a cool, dry area to minimize decomposition.
• Never pile heavy articles of luggage on top of loaded trays.
• For optimal performance use within 12 months of sale.

Pre‑Use Preparation

• Hydrate: Soak trays in water for 30 minutes before seeding.
• Drain: Allow excess water to drain to avoid waterlogging.

Monitoring and Maintenance

Rapid Rooter® plugs with seedlings and cuttings receive the same care as for any other propagating media.

Watering

• Keep the plugs moist, but not drenched.
• Watering can occur twice a day, depending on temperature and humidity.

Lighting

• Give the plants even light so they don't get stretched.
• Good seedling growth is typically under 12–16 hours of moderate light.

Conclusion

GH Rapid Rooter® 50/Pack Replacement plugs offer an effective and environmentally friendly alternative for starting seeds and cuttings. Their organic and soilless setup will help the plants flourish , promote a vigorous root system, and decrease the risk of transplant shock. Ideal for both soil and hydro, these plugs are perfect for all seed-starting needs.
