Flo Gro 500 + 400W HPS/MH Cooltube - Initial medium and how to transplant?

[Dr Cannabis]

Hi all,

I'm beginning my first hydroponic setup with a Flo Gro 500 Ebb and Flood system.. It can be seen here where I transplanted a Critical Mass a couple of hours ago

The manufactorer has also made a video of how to use it, but he seems to begin the grow in soil, then transplants from soil to hydro clay pebbles.

Is this really the best way? I just transplanted a Critical Mass from my outdoors greenhouse (in soil) to my hydro tent with the Flo Gro 500, like he does in the video.. But what would you initiate the grow from seed in when you're headed for hydro?

I would like to avoid soil in the future, so what would you do to achieve this?

Well for starters if Iam transplanting a plant from soil/coco I will clean the roots thoroughly with RO water. The easiest method (in my opinion) is an aero cloner. Once roots shoot you can transplant into any medium of your choosing. For instance my mommas are in coco but my rooms are recirc dwc.
Happy growing!
