Do I start seedlings out with nutrients?

I am going to be using a bubbleponics/DWC system for growing. I will be starting the seedlings in the system and I am wondering - do I add nutrients to the water in the DWC right off the bat or do I wait until the plants are grown some?

Plain Tap water for the First 2-3 weeks of the plants life.... seedlings come with everything they need to survive for Awhile after they crack If you add more they will have problems ...when they have well set up root systems and several sets of leaves on top Start em weak Nutes and Build Up :)

I adjust the PH-value in my water before giving it to the plants.

So do I adjust the PH of the water I soak my rockwool in to something other than neutral? If so, what PH?

Go for a ph at about 5.5 - 6 - keep an eye on where your specific strain and phenos like it best. It's impossible to make a lot of strains and phenos equally happy since they have different requirements.
