What brand net cups/pots did you prefer.  Also do you use Texas Tomato food or the trio you highlighted from amazon as your fluid?  Thanks

I might have missed it, but are the Rapid Rooter Grow Plugs reusable, or are they a “one and done” item?

I’m about 3 weeks into my first try at hydroponics using Jack’s method of Rapid Rooter plugs, net pots,  aster blend mix, aluminum chaffing trays and the little indoor green house and I really love it. I’ve started a bunch of seed and am transplanting out into pots since I don’t have a way to do grow lights (no electricity yet). The only problem I’m having is that I can’t get amazon to ship the Rapid Rooter plugs to me anymore. Last month I got two packages but this month it won’t ship to my residence address anymore. Do you have a second best type of starting medium you could recommend? Thanks!

Finally able to order more Rapid Rooter plugs. Yeah!

In case it ever happens again though or I want to shift to something less expensive or more reusable. Do you have a second best recommendation?

Thanks again.

Did you decide on a better pan and a better board?  You mentioned that you would talk about that later but I have watched all the videos in the Kratky series and nothing else was recommended.  You mentioned both an 18 hour light cycle and a 14 hour cycle.  Have you noticed any difference?  Jack, thank you so much for recommending this setup.  I have grown tomatos, various herbs, beans, corn, sunflowers and zucchini and transplanted into the garden with wonderful results.  I do not even plant the lettuces and other greens in the garden but harvest from this system as they grow so fast.  I use the fertilizer you recommend – Urban Farms Texas Tomato Food and Vegetable Fertilizer.

I am looking to buy a couple of these for seed starting early next year. Since they are moist should I freeze them or dry them out until I am ready to use? Just looking to prevent mold.
