I've been taking cuttings in Jiffy pellets but thought I'd give these Root Riots a go.

Do you use them and if so, how? Do you give then plain water or plain phed water? Do you add some root promoting stuff, do you feed in the cubes?

Sorry Paladin, I meant what ph do you adjust your water to when giving it to cuts in root riot?

i use the GH rapid rooters a lot so i assume the root riots are similar;

i actually give my clones 1/4 strength nutes every watering; never let them dry out i water them every other day at least; dont leave any standing water in the tray i drain it out after each watering. i also use a dome but that's because the RH in my area is what you would call "dry as fuck".
i usually get nice green clones with roots in anywhere from 7-14 days and near 100% success rate.

about ph: 6-6.3 works good for me in rapid rooters

yep ph of 6 and you're ready to go. i also live in a dry area so the domes are a must.
i spray my plants with r/owater mixed with canna's rhizotonic, no ph.
i usually just take some of my veg nutes and add r/o water til i get it down to 200-250ppms and soak my root riots in this. ph to 6ish

the only difference i notice with the rapid rooters and root riots is rapid rooters have a larger hole so sometimes if i use these, i must wedge a piece of r.r. into the whole to make sure the stems dont dryout.
with root riots i actually have to open the hole a bit.

i get near 100% success rates with this method in about 10-14days.

dont forget to dip clones in a rooting get before planting in root riots.
i use clonex cloning gel
