Slowly add substrate and try best to spread out roots as you go... slowly adding more substrate and allowing more roots to spread out with substrate between. Do your best to not have a large clump of root in center and sorrounded by coco. almost certainly going to shock the plant... and roots in water are not the same as roots that develop in a solid substrate... they will have to develop the fine hairs to better absorb water from a solid substrate, that are not as predominant when roots are in water-only environment. So, expect at least some sort of slow-down or a complete stop to above ground growth, temporarily, and if many plants, they may react differently to same process... some may recover faster than others... some may be less bothered to start.

Do it with clones all the time, can be more heavy handed with clones than seedlings.. depending on how roots look I’d probably leave in the net pot from DWC and just cut open the bottom entirely. This is what I would do with clones to make sure they don’t get strangled later in life. Try to position that main root like it was a taproot going straight down essentially.. give some time to recover without messing with it. If it’ seems super fragile don’t run fans too hard at first. You’ll be all good especially with a photoperiod

Trata que tus raices no queden apretadas y no dejes pasar mucho mas tiempo para tu transplante.

Pick a nice deep pot. Punch a hole deep into the middle. Put your young root down into the hole. This is the natural way it would grow straight down and outwards. Will be some shock. But done right you should be fine. You can place your net pot straight into coco. But again main sure there's hole enough for the roots to grow down and out. Good growing .
