Thanks polishpollack for your response. I'll go down to my local hydro shop when I get my paycheck to pick up some nutes since my seedling is already in her new Hydroton Habitat. I'll stick to soil for my rest and see how this Hydro works, seeing as I already have my set up for it. You think my seedling could live another week without the Nutes? I read a few posts where people had let their seedlings and cuttings grow in hydro for up to 2 weeks before even starting nutes.
