Cannabis propagation plugs are a key element for ensuring fast, healthy, and effective rooting. They're designed to maintain adequate humidity, allow for aeration, and protect the stem as it develops new roots. In this section, you'll find peat plugs, Jiffys, rock wool, sponges, and coco cubes, suitable for all types of crops and systems: soil, coco, or hydroponics.

Cutting plugs are propagation media specifically designed for cloning plants—that is, generating new plants from a branch or shoot. Their purpose is to provide an optimal environment where the cutting can safely and quickly form roots.
They are made of porous, lightweight materials with good water retention capacity, which allows them to maintain constant humidity without suffocating the stem.
During the cutting process, the plant has no roots to absorb water, so maintaining the balance between humidity and oxygen is essential. A good plug ensures:
In addition, they facilitate subsequent transplantation, since it is not necessary to directly manipulate the roots.
Any grower who regularly takes cuttings or wants to start a small cloning project should have plugs. They're widely used by home growers, cannabis associations, and professional growers, both in soil and in hydroponic or coco systems.
They are also widely used for seed germination.
With a suitable plug and optimal conditions (temperature and humidity), a cutting can begin to root in 7-10 days, although some genetics may take longer.
It's not mandatory, but it's highly recommended. The hormone stimulates faster and more uniform root formation, especially when combined with good-quality plugs and a warm, humid environment.
