Hi ! I'm awaiting for proper nutrients to arrive , two of my seeds already sprouted , what can we use instead ? The idea is to have those plants in DWC . I'm afraid they will not survive on clean water , please help !!!
 
Plant them in soil for now, probably wouldn't need additional nutrients for two or three weeks (depending on the soil). I've heard of a few "non-essential" shipments getting delayed for over a month. When your supplies arrive, you can *gently* remove enough soil for it to not be an issue. I use a gentle stream of flowing water slightly above room temperature, spend a while with that, then stick in a bowl full of same and spin/swish it around a while. What little remains, I don't worry about.

Or you could do what some few of the "grubby hippy set" did in the '60s and '70s, urinate into a bucket and fill it the rest of the way up with water - only modernize it by taking a multivitamin first thing in the morning, and do your streaming at noon.

Me, I would go for option #1, lol. And have, many times, with no issues. . . .
