Finally hit a 100% germination rate with these circular plugs! 🌿

Just wanted to share a quick win from the nursery today. I’ve been experimenting with different media, but these round rockwool plugs are honestly making life so much easier.

The moisture consistency is spot on, and I'm seeing much faster root breakthrough than I did with my previous setup. I’m planning to move these into my vertical farm rack next week, but they’d honestly work just as well for a simple home Kratky or NFT setup.

Has anyone else made the switch to circular plugs? Would love to hear how you manage your dry-backs during the early stages.
