I have 10 clones in rapid rooters that have nice roots sticking out, I have them in a dome problem is my veg setup is not ready and I was wondering if any of you have any ideas to make a make shift system to hold the clones for 10 days or so until i'm ready in my veg setup.

I have Hydroton and even a few pumps (water n air)

I have seen people before use red solo cups and hydroton is i did this do I need air or water flow?

Help Promise to give rep to all who help!

You mean like constant water flowing? Probably not, but you do need to keep them watered with aerated water so you might be doing it several times. I use rockwool in hydroton so the rockwool holds the water nicely and I was watering every couple of days at first but now that I have 2 month old plants it's every day at least. I didn't use a solo cup and I would imagine that would require more frequent waterings. For 10 days you should be fine just don't over do it.

They will be fine in the dome for a few days but you need to get them into something with a rez such as a cooler, bucket or anything not clear that you can put a makeshift lid and put the netpot in and if you don't have a netpot then yes you could use a solo cup with holes in it but netpots are better and also have moving or bubbling water to oxygenate the roots but make sure that the rooter does not stay in the water no more than 1/4 inch or it will stay water logged and cause growth problems. But yes the tray and cup should work for a temporary solution

You should get something around the lights like a hood or something to direct the light onto the plants cuz ur gonna lose alot of light and you will need a small fan in there if you don't have one already

I do have a small 4 inch inline boaster fan in there which does not do much, but also have a room ventilation setup which sucks air out (not pictured)

Also this is full enclosed and 75% of the room is mylar and rest black plastic... 1200w of cfl in a 3x5 space not to worried about losing light.

This is just a short term setup I have a 8 bulb t5 in another room with my DWC setup just dont have it wired as of yet.
