you have about 7 days worth of good food in a seedling if i remember, i have herd of ppl giving nothing but water for 3 weeks, but ive never given a seedling just water for anyware near that long, i allways give them some fresh potting soil as soon as they have sprouted

have you done a side by side comparison to how much if any differance it makes?? i only ask because ive thaught about doing it myself, but have allways been extra cautious when it comes to seedlings

the directions that came with the aero units said to do it this way. and the unit also came with a small bottle of dyna gro nutes. been doing it this way for almost a decade now and (knocks on wood) my germ rate is almost 100%. i use 1mL per gallon so very low EC
I dont use rapid rooters, but I also began starting my seeds in my aero system with about 100PPM of PH'ed nutes. Seems to be working very well for me. I think it reduces any possible stress to have them start at the same level rather than have a sudden change at 1 week old. Plus, when seeds start in soil, they have food from day one.
