no its not possible the plants would die.

[letsburn06]

How would they die thoe i meen like its confusing to me kinda i know they need certain nutrients and stuff but they still should be able to live wit just water.

You just contradicted yourself.
If you only give them water, what are they going to use to grow their tissues?
Can you survive on just water from the time you were born up to the time you become sexually mature?

How about after you become sexually mature?

[stinkyattic]

Well then you don't need to live anymore, especially if you're a plant- grow, mature, reproduce, die. That's all you need to do to continue the species.

Well i knew it was a stupid question but i had to ask becuase how does the plant stay alive then when u flush em with just water before u harvest?

Residual nutrients and they are practicaly ready to be harvested at that point, the stored energy in the leaves is more than enough , a sign of this is the browning and curling of the leaves.
