yes i have put germinated seeds in rapid rooters with the stem pointing down and then would put the rooter in a styrofoam holder floating in water. I use soil but wouldn't transplant them outa the stryrofoam for a couple days until u can see roots coming out the sides. hope this helps

While you certainly can, you don't want to germinate the seed in Rapid Rooters. The fiber is too dense for a seedling to grow up through if it sprouts sideways or upside down. If you germed them in paper towels, then yeah, just make sure the root point down.

Do rapid rooters work better than peat-based starters? I might switch, the peat is so damn cheap though.

Me too. I soak my seed in the bottom of my rapid rooter tray to be sure it germ'd and then use a spoon to pick it up and drop it into the rapid rooter. I just keep a dark cover on it until it is over the top the rapid rooter and transplant to soil once the first 2 leaves are green.
