DWC , first grow , 1st week , nutrients alternative

Hi ! It will be my 1st dwc grow , the problem I'm facing is delay in delivery of nutrients , two seeds already germinated . I'm wandering if they will survive on plain water ? What are the alternatives ? I really want those plants to survive until the proper nuts arrive . I bought a micro , grow and bloom from pH perfect line ( advanced nutrients ) . Please advise

Make sure the water that’s getting to the seedlings is cool (65-72 degrees) and a ph of 5.3 to 6.3 in dwc or hydroponic. Nutrients aren’t necessarily needed at this point. They will be fine. I have my seedlings growing in net pots until the roots expose from the bottom. Then it’s off into a 7.5gal res for the rest of its life.

I'm also at this stage. My cotyledon dried up, is turning yellow and one of them cracked.
My tap is 350 ppm without adding nutes, just bought a RO system to reduce this number.
Is your advice based on low or high ppm?
