This is probably a good idea. I notice that when I put my babies in the clay pellets, wherever the leaves touch the hydroton they burn and die. I think this will happen if there is any nutrients in your system. I start them at 1/4 strength, and even that is enough to leave nutrients on the individual pellets. Even when they look dry there is usually a slight bit of moisture in them, and I think the new leaves just can't handle being in constant contact.

Thanks for the compliment.
