This is my first contribution to the site. After trying many methods for transferring seedlings to the net pots where they will finish out their life, I found my own personal method to work the best. Not only is this method easy and shock free to the plants, it greatly conserves Hydroton and smaller net pots are much cheaper. I paid 15.00 for 48 3.75" and I think maybe 10.00 for 100 2" but cant remember exactly on those.
I start my seeds in 1" rock wool cubes which are inserted in 2" net pots with some Hydroton. I made a seed starter/ bubble cloner where the 2" pots drop into. When the seedling is ready to be transferred to the final net pot I cut out a circle for the 2" net pots in the bottom of the 3.75" net pots. I then place the 2" net pot in the cutout in the bottom of the 3.75" cup. I then fill to the top with Hydroton as seen in pics. Its pretty straight forward and I think the pics will tell you what you need to know. Before anyone says oh you have root rot, its kelp or seaweed. Best supplement I have ever used and is now all I use besides nutrients. I hope this works for others as well as it has for myself. Feel free to ask any questions.
