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."
