What to start seedlings in?

Been doing this for 4 years (full blown hydro) and it's the seedlings that give me issues every time but I'm thinking that it's basically the same as dirt at first, keep em moist but not wet. I'm cloning these ones tomorrow so with roots they may do better going into the trays :).
yeah I'm hurting right now, 2 weeks in and ones like an inch and a half and the others like 2 inches lol. I'm not sure if i mentioned this but "alpha phaze" told me a good ass idea, I kind of tweaked it a bit. but basically start the seeds in rapid rooters then once they get some roots sticking out the side put them in a 5" net pot (with hydroton) under 48w of t5 and hand water once a day with a measuring cup 500ml/gal pot (5" net cup is about a quart) and once the roots are growing out the side and to the edge, transplant the net pot in a gallon pot and surround with hydroton then hand water for another week (or just f&d once transplanted) and then put them under the 400w

but I'm sure they will, cloning is a whole other process i need to master lol but goodluck with that id love to see how long they take to root and some pics once they're rooted

I'll keep u posted as this will be a first for me as well. I have always cloned using peat pods and soil, had it dialed in pretty good, doing a few hundred at a time. Never done clones for hydro but really how hard could it be :o. And only doing 10-12 lol.
