Can Venus Fly Traps be grown from seed in Hydroponic setup?

I've used Rapid Rooter plugs in the past for cannabis seeds (legal in my state), but will it work for VFT?
Also, can i just run distilled water and feed the traps? Is water PH of concern?

From reading the description i wouldn't think it would work.
"made out of composted organic material with plant-derived polymers" "large populations of beneficial microbes"

Thanks!
Looks like Rockwool cubes are the way to go:
"Rockwool contains no naturally occurring nutrients (coco often contains levels of potassium and sometimes other minerals which are used to pre-condition the substrate), hence the plants are totally reliant on a well balanced and complete hydroponic nutrient solution at each stage of growth."
