Hello friends, I've been searching the forum and never noticed there isn't any subforum for cloning/propagation! I hope this area works, other threads are all over the place lol.
Ok, I'm going to be taking clones for the first time in quite a while. Never had problems before but I'm trying something new and have some little detail questions.
I recently went to the hydro shop to get some rapidrooters, I've always used peat pellets but figured I'd try the rapid rooters. Noticed the price and the shop has their own generic moss plugs, exactly like the rapid rooters for only 20c each. They were in a big bag inside a rubbermaid tub. They were kept moist and looked clean. My only issue with this is all the hands diving into the bin, as did mine, possibly contaminating the plugs. They were put into a ziplock bag, still moist, for the last few days, no mold...yet.
So my question is should I try to sterilize these just in case? I was thinking of putting them in the oven for a bit or boiling them. Is this over kill? I don't want to damage the moss taking unnecessary precautions.
Secondly, I noticed there are already holes punched down the center of em that are a little big, could that be a problem? I think there is room to poke another hole in it.
Sorry if these questions are just silly or been discussed. Just want to be safer than sorry down the road!
Thanks for stopping by and any advice! I'll be working with power kush and sweet blue!
