If I understand you??? you have them in a tray or something, holding hydroton??? Anyway, If they are in a vessel with hydroton and are rooted, I would flood the vessel to get hydroton to float and then gently work roots out of H'ton and immediately place in your all ready netpots with a layer of hydroton (assume that is what you fill netpots with) place roots around bottom and fill up with hydroton.

You should be succesful, then put them on 1/2 nutes with superthrive...to help them through the stress...Just to be on the safe side. hope this answers your query

thank you latewood.
i started with some container for reg.plants.no net pots.
the roots are coming out of the bottom and are growing into the water.
i just want each plant in there own home instead of the roots all tangled.
this is my first hydro grow and im amazed at the speed of growth.
i got 15 plants in hydro and ten in soil under 1000 hps.lets see what happens
