I have 5 gal bubblebuckets and hydroton as my medium. My seedlings just popped in some Rapid Rooter cubes. When I transplant them, do I have to top feed until the roots develop more or will the hydroton wick enough water?

You need to have the rooter covered so the roots can fill them out and the plant can get some size to it.

I never top fed. just make sure the water level is high enough that the bubbles water the roots and they'll grow into the water
