while the plants are little you're not supposed to water them with tap water due to clorine. is this the case throughout the plant lifecycle? am i supposed to have buckets of water on standby?

Too much chlorine in tap water tends to turn the soil a little acidic, and may have to be balanced by adding some calcium.

You'd need to keep an eye on the PH if you do, personally I'd let the water sit out overnight, that gets rid of the chlorine.

just let it sit for 18-24 hours. i have never seen a difference but if the plant is young better safe than sorry.
