The simplest is to put them into your 4" netpots and surround them with hydroton. I use peat moss pellets for rooting and then put them into 4" netpots. You should be aware that rockwool for example will hold a lot more moisture than hydroton, so you may want to remove some of the peat moss without damaging the roots before re-planting. As for watering schedules, I run 1/4" tubing directly to the pot without a dripper and just let it rip! Generally only stopping the flow during lights out.

Thanks alot, I was going to start them in peat pellets, so you are saying I can just put them into the pots and surround them with hydroton when they are rooted?
Yes, you can...but as I was saying peat moss pellets hold a lot more moisture than does hydroton, and I have seen new clones struggle because they never dried out or the roots were drowning. Obviously after they've been in there for a while and the roots grow way beyond the pellet there is no more problem. So when placing the new rooted plant with its peat moss pellet, make sure you don't have that pellet way down in the pot to give it plenty of space to dry it out easier between waterings. In some cases I will even remove SOME of the peat moss without damaging the roots before placing in hydroton to help the new plant thrive faster and to keep it from staying too wet.
