For my next grow I’ll need to figure out what to put those rapid rooters in until its time to put them in the buckets ... but lesson learned it was too soon - live and learn! :-)
I put mine directly in hydroton, I rooted clones as well and have no issues “now” lol. I found that success was based on very small water cycles which is the opposite of what hydro is supposed to be :(. I’m sure you’ll get through this fine :).

a cut tray with insert

22"x11" cut tray
a plug insert

once the seeds sprout you fill the cut tray with a 1/4" nutes and allow the seedlings to feed
once the roots are popping out good you seedling should have probably 3 nodes and will be ready for Vegatative growth *rapid growth*
that is when they drop in the system

@Wisher2 ... for that link you gave me for the RO system, hubby is asking how often the filter has to be changed; said if its too often, he’d rather I spend a bit more for one that requires less dickering with. (Was only able to ask him today cuz he’s been on travel all week) ... said he’d put one in for me :-) :-) :-)

Well I know I’ll have some 4 and 6 cell deals because I’ve got spring planting coming up ... usually the nursery has extra ones too (I know - they gotta be sterilized!)
Sterilized :o oh shit lol. I cut cuttings with a rusty pair of scissors and use used res water to water them. I’m way beyond sterilized lol. I’m not saying do what I do though lol. I’ve got it down re the 30-40 clones I take now. Used to spend weeks on end taking em and filling a house to plant outside. Ran Blueberry for years from the same cuttings I flew out from BC sewn inside a coat, lost them in 98 due to an ice storm in eastern Ontario that put power out for 23 days at my place :(.

Yeah, until I get good, I’ll be following protocol *lol* ... and holy crap 23 days without power??? Ugh - I cant imagine that!
