Root Riot Plugs

Somethings changed about these plugs in the past year or two. Finished up my old bag today and cracked into the new one. Old ones were very spongey and not crumbly and new ones are.more similar to rapid rooters which is kind of crumbly peat. Anyone else notice this change?

I switched to Root Riot plugs. No problems with any of my bags of them.

both are peat based?

Yes both peat based. Just something changed about them in the past year or two

I just used some. They still work fine.

i find the cheapest peat plugs i can at the grow shop, never name brand, and most of us probably dont need 50 packs.

$10 for 25 packs is what i look for

Maybe they were old stock? I bought a new bag this year and they were like they’ve always been. But that on the right looks like garbage.

Ahh "root rots". I remember the last bag I got years back. Came with a hole punch sized opening, right from the grow shop, like it was a purposefully placed vent hole. Came with root innoculation powders too or something. Anyway. They were still moist, but..

I swear I got gnats from that bag, because the hole. Like one flew in and laid eggs. Maybe not, and a total coincidence, but I switched to RW ever since. I could see them drying out if they still put holes in the bags like that. I dunno why mine did, but might be because it was a sample bag back they were giving out.
