Sure, just don't pour it on the cubes themselves, or if you do, don't do it repeatedly.

If their roots haven't left the rockwool much, and you overwater it, they'll drown. Get them just slightly moist and water the hydroton.

If growing in a medium with no nutrients whatsoever it isn't early at all
I give my seedlings 1/4 strength nutes the day they sprout and they never get burnt
Plants need nutes to grow, if they only had water than they would get deficient very quickly
