I am in the process of converting my original grow tub from a DWC to a ebb and flow. I'm concerned about the logistical plan I had when it comes to the media and transplanting. I have a small cloner that you can see below. Whatever I end up doing for this box to make it work, I will do for another box which is 5x bigger then this one for the flower box. I figured I could practice the design on the little one and simply do bigger for the flower box. I am converting this box to an ebb and flow. To make that happen I will simply purchase another box exactly like this one and glue it on top of this. I have the ebb and flow fittings and so forth to make this happen.

Currently I don't use hydroton. These cups are 2" with star collars. I was planning to fill these cubs with hydroton when I finally do convert to ebb and flow. From there I don't know what to do. I know it would have been easier to just use 3" cups and I may still do that, but what do you guys do for transplanting? Should I just use 2" cups in my large box? I'm afraid the collars will pop loose when they get bigger. I'm planning for 2.5-3' max height wise on a 4 week veg. My basic issue is the logistics of getting the plants from one box which is smaller to the larger box in addition to where to put the hydroton in my new design.
