Transplanting clones. Do I need to add anything to help them not go into shock sobad

Im using an ebb and flow 5 gallong bucket system. All Hydroton for medium. I do my clones in an aero cloner JUST in the neoprene covers, haging below the surface. So NO RW used. Just a stem and roots hanging off of it when i transplant to the buckets.

I just rmember years ago when i did a soil grow, I THINK i added something to the soil so that it would help them transition. Is there anything equivilent for my setup> I only ask because my clonse look a little week after transplant.

Its probably the hydroton crushing the roots that's doing it because my aero to aero with no media shows nothing. I don't even think the girls realize they have been moved.

I think botanicare makes something for that, don't quote me on this it might be Silica Blast? Check it out and see if that's what you were looking for.

Not sure I understand the problem, the roots will eventually start spreading throughout the hydroton, no different than placing it in soil.

Silica blast is for building strong stalks and branches. Works great, too.
