Unlocking Superior Growth: Why Quick Plug’s RHP-Certified Grow Plugs Are ideal for your grow
If you’re a grower — whether professionally or as a passionate home grower — you know how important a reliable grow plug is. Quick Plug’s 104 and 77 size plugs shine precisely because they are designed to give your plants the strongest start possible. As Europe’s leading producers of high-quality grow plugs, Quick Plug has decades of experience, and it shows.
These plugs are especially known in the horticultural sector — but they are also ideal for our beloved cannabis. Quick Plug’s stabilized growing media is suited for propagation, helping growers get faster rooting and easier transplanting — an advantage for both seedlings and cuttings.
What Makes Quick Plug Grow Plugs Stand Out
Advanced Plug Composition
The plugs are made from a blend of organic materials: 90% coir (coconut fiber) and 10% peat (Baltic peat), both RHP-certified. This composition gives plugs a perfect balance of stability and softness. The plugs maintain structural integrity even when wet — they don’t crumble or fall apart, which makes handling easier.
Pre-Formed Holes & Rounded Shape for Optimal Propagation
Each plug comes with a preformed hole sized just right for clones or seeds. The rounded/plump shape helps roots develop evenly and robustly. For example, the 77-size plug offers 50 cm³ of volume, which provides more space for root development than many standard plugs — leading to healthier roots and stronger plant growth over time.
High Air & Moisture Capacity → Healthy Roots & Faster Growth
The stabilized media retains moisture while ensuring good aeration — essential for optimal root development. This helps young plants, clones or seedlings get a strong, vigorous start.
Easy Handling & Flexibility for Growers
Whether you’re a commercial grower or a home gardener, Quick Plug plugs offer ease of use. For Shops, they’re available in boxes of 7 trays and can be purchased sealed (for smaller projects or consumer use) or upon request unsealed (ideal for large-scale operations).
Why RHP Certification Matters
The RHP certification is a well-recognized European quality standard for substrates and growing media. Covering aspects like consistency, chemical and physical properties, pH balance, nutrient content, and absence of contaminants, the RHP quality mark ensures a growing medium meets strict professional standards. Media with RHP certification has been tested for quality and reliability — meaning you can trust the plugs will perform consistently each time you use them. This is crucial for professional growers and serious hobbyists alike, because substrate quality directly affects germination, root health, transplant success, and ultimately yield and plant vitality.
Cannabis-Specific Benefits from Quick Plug
When it comes to cannabis cultivation — whether from seed or cuttings — Quick Plug’s stabilized growing media is especially beneficial. According to the company
- Their plugs encourage faster rooting or germination, which means quicker crop start.
- They support earlier and easier transplanting, allowing growers to meet customer demand more efficiently.
- The media remains stable even in hydroponic systems, without breaking down or clogging filters — an advantage over many unbonded substrates.
These advantages make Quick Plug plugs particularly attractive for growers aiming for high performance, consistency, and a streamlined workflow from propagation to harvest.
