  2. I wouldn't recommend trying to put an existing sprout into a Jiffy-7 pellet. They're fine for seeds, but moving a sprout into them seems like it would damage the roots.

    I'm sorry, I don't know whether you can use hydro with these or not, but I felt I had to recommend you not risk your roots until (if) someone who's done it successfully posts here.
     
  3. the sprout are still small .they are still in a wet paper towel
     
  4. I see. For the record, that's a germinated seed, not a sprout. A sprout is what you have when the plant first breaks the soil.

    But in that case, you can definitely use a Jiffy-7 pellet, I've used them myself in the past and they do a good job of growing a seed. Just don't use a Jiffy Pot, I find they dry the plant out too quickly. And hopefully soon someone will be able to tell you about hydro compatibility, but from what I remember a lot of people who clone plants for hydro use Jiffy-7's. Not 100% sure though...
     
  5. here is a couple more pics .a little closer .the package calls them biodegradable pellets. the stuff inside looks like coffe grinds with little fiber strands here and there. still havnt heard if i can go hydro with these things if someone knows let me know thanks
