Traveling with clones? How to do it

So like the title says I am moving and need to take my clones with me. I am unsure how to go about packing them so they will stay alive. I just need to take a couple of each of my strains to make sure that I keep my genetics alive until I get to my new location. Its gonna be about a 20 hour drive so that needs to be taken into account. I have no idea how to do this so any ideas are appreciated. No smart ass use the search button comments because I have and cannot find what I am looking for. Thanks in advance

20 hrs isnt that long its not even a day. they will be fine for a day as long as they are planted in a nice moist medium. i would go with coco or soil.

it would be best if you could get them established (roots and growing healthy) before you move them but either way its not so bad

well there's a few ideas i have as to things you could look into sunlight is a possibility if you travel durring day hours if possible you could rig up a device to hold the by the window so they get light. Also if you can afford to spend a bit I'd get a lighter to 120V outlet converter and rig a cfl or 2 too give them light then try to cover them in mylar for dark hours. Just my suggestions lemme know how things go

If you travel by car just place them under sunlight next to the window. I doubt you will have any problems caused from lights.

Assuming you obey all the laws of the road so as not to get pulled over... I wouldn't even worry about a light. When I got to where I was going I would either put them back on their light schedule or if the day light time of the drive differed greatly from the normal light schedule, like mine is off from 10am-6pm, then I would put them under a 24 hr light schedule for 2 weeks to prevent any further confusion on the clones part. If your plants normally get light when or near when the sun comes up and goes down I seriously wouldn't even worry like I already said. anyways cheers!
