Root Riot cubes. These three cuttings were placed in Root Riot cubes on March 12, 2013 and today I moved them into one gal pots. When placed into the cubes, I scored each and dipped into Clonex Gel. Today, they went into the pots using Fertilome Ultimate Potting Mix, with nothing else added at the recommendation of Rafed. MACOOL MACOOL #2 PANACHEE

Congrats they look great. I love the rooting riot set up. Uses up less space and the cuttings root very nicely. I've lost a few here and there, but my overall success has been around 90-95% with no mold issues. And I like that the roots are a beefy when they sprout - makes me less antsy about the transplanting process.

I believe I am sold on the Root Riot cubes. When they have roots they go in the one gal pot skipping the dreaded cup. It appears that they develop leaves faster also.
