Seed Whore
For seeds or clones what I like about the jiffy pellets is they start dry so there is no bacteria or bugs in them.
What do you have against the jiffy pots?
I tried Jiffy pots once and didn't like them.
If you don't like using soil to start seeds cause of bacteria, bugs, etc. you can use a 50/50 mix of vermiculite and perlite.
