Nothing. Sand, if you are talking about beach type sand, with have no nutrients.It is silica. Silica is unusable for plants. The only nutrients the sand will have is the nutrients that comes with water. You can do an experiment with green onions bought from the store. Cut the top green parts off and place the bottom roots in the sand and let them grow back, cut the plants when they have stopped growing. Each new growth will become more and more watered down and tasteless.
The growth is only happening form the energy and food stored in the roots.
