I think I had a bad bag of root riot plugs or something. 8 beans started and just died! Going back to peat pods.
Bad bean week

Probably let them dry out to much or humidity wasn't right. Root riot cubes are peat plugs just like rapid rooters and every other peat plug. How you all always have so much trouble germinating I will never understand. 78-82° 90% humidity, keep them domed until it's time to move them to whatever container you're going to be growing them in.

I never have issues that’s why I’m confused. 1 bean out of 8 made it. The plugs I used were a couple years old. I spray them once or twice every few months with distilled water. I typically never have problems germinating.
I'm not sure, we always dip ours and squeeze them, but if they were a couple years old maybe was just to dry on the inside or something.

I did them in a weak solution of clonex seeding and clone nutrient. Squeezed them out like I always do for clones. I have “never” lost a clone in the root riot plugs.
Clones are different than beans

I guess what I’m saying Mo is, comment should have been structured more like a question than a statement. I’m wondering if anyone else has had a time with getting seeds started in RR Plugs? At this point I think I’m gonna stick with my cheap ass peat plugs from Walmart.
As long as they aren't the ones with nets around them you'll see no complaints from me lol
