Yes, for a while. But sand does not contain the nutrients needed for continued growth, so unless these are added to the water (i.e., hydroponic gardening), the plant will not thrive.

yep. Pure sand without any clay colloids.....well, now we are getting particular. Sand is neutral, that is doesn't have an ionic charge so Cations aren't going to attach but rather stay in the solution aorund the sand particle. Organic matter is charged so will hold the cations.
Without these little docking stations, the charged ions can easily wash through the soil unless the nutrients are regularly replaced.
Lousy answer, but I hope you get the idea. Look up cation exchange capacity for a better definition.

Yes, seeds will grow in sand. Give them fertilizer and plenty of water.

Well, do it. Try it. Try something new. If it does not work just keep growing try growing them in regular dirt. Just in case that does not work I would buy a lot of seeds.

Why don't you just come out and ask it?
MARIJUANA, say it with me now...
Can't answer your question, cause I don't know. But why try to be sneaky when it's so obvious?
