repurposed soil that I add nutrients to.

===>>> soil or media????

you may do just as well using fresh media rather than investing in rapid rooters or superplugs ... which are.. fresh media ...

i understand i dont have the experience you are asking for .... but if you are having some problem.. it might be using soil in pots ... or using old media ...

I think you are on the wrong forum. These are hydroponics materials. 'Make it easy on yourself' means you would like to cut down on the labor. Probably most people that use this stuff transplant to deep water rather than soil. They are probably also smoking what they grow, lol. On GW you are more likely to find gardeners interested in vegetable hydroponics. If you find out please come back and let us know. I am interested in these materials also. Sometimes I like to get out of the box because I learn. The hydroponics products are 'designer' and the success rate might be worth the money. But there is no perfect media for all clones. Aeroponics cloning is close to 100% for many plants but for begonias it's closer to 0%. So I am interested in doing it all.
