Do you need help identifying a 🌶?
Is your plant suffering from an unknown issue? 🤧
Then ask in Identification and Diagnosis.

Those are Rapid Rooter PLUGS. a Rockwool SLAB is not a starting medium that you put in a seed starting tray. it is more what you 'transplant' it to.

I see "Omri", but the post doesn't seem related to me in any way.teh purple penguins said:Actually Omri

I just said they don't look like rockwool, but more like fleximix. The tray itself does look like a rapid rooter one.
Hey, how do you guys find rockwool cubes?
I have some coconut husk peat pellets that are at least 25% smaller than the normal Jiffy peat pellets, and was thinking of propogating seedlings in the pellets, then lodging them inside rockwool cubes, before planting them in soil in some 12 inch pots.
One thing I find is that peppers take a freaking long time to grow, and since I can happily sustain seedlings indoors, the longer I can keep them in a non potted stage, the longer I can have them indoors. So if the rockwool cubes can delay the potting phase to say 10 weeks after first germinating seeds, I'd be really happy.

Kinda in-between a slab and cubes.

it's a standard rapid rooter tray that he cut to 4 cells. i said omri, because they were obviously not rockwool or a slab 
. i should have said omri and quadshots for different reasons. : )
i said omri cause i told you they were rapid rooter plugs. and that abf didn't mean that they were a rockwool slab.
abf. how much experience do you have with hydro? did you say the last time you grew hydro chiles was your first time with chiles? can't wait to see those 7pots grow. in your slab. are you going to do top feed drip or like an nft?
and those are how all starter cubes come that's not a slab. a slab does not have perforations to sperate individual cubes with seed / stem holes.
and is usually 6" wide x 4" tall x many different sizes long.
you can also get slabs that are a lot wider and more square but i think they are dubbed 'mats'

this will be my 2nd hydro grow i have done. i have a flood and drain system so i will be doing it that way and see how it works. my last grow i had 6 plants but they grew way to big for my grow area so i am only doing 4 this time and see how it works. i am very excited to see how those 7pods grow and produce
