It will survive on tap water but really read up on the growing subject. You don't know what your getting in too. hahaha the guys here are great and they've got it to a science, but here is what I've gathered so far...
Bottled water is fine but distiled water is best, always test the ph of your water the lower the number the more acidic and the higher, the more alkaline and you want a ph of about 5.8-6.8? (I gather thats pretty close) anyhow, your plant will need good soil, tons of light, a lot a good aeration in the soil for the roots, good nutrients, proper ph, and insecticide.
A good mixture of soil less mixture (soil containing no additives) 1/3 perlite for aeration, 1/3 worm castings for nutrition, and 1/3 vermiculite for water retention. To this mixture you are going to want to add nutrients to the plant as necessary about 3 weeks in to the grow cycle very diluted at first and then building up to the recommend dosage when the plant is bigger. I would stay away from Mg products they are difficult to use properly. As for light, I just use cfl and that is what I recommend as a beginner, you can get in to high pressure sodium, and metal halide later one when you read in to it more. Get yourself 3-4 23W or 26W clf equivalent to about 100W each, a mylar emergency blanket from target for 2$, a dark rubbermaid tub and a desk fan.
Line your rubbermaid tub with mylar (not tin foil, this creates hot spots), susppend your lights from the top of your box shinning down tward the plants, they can be as close as 3" without burning the leafs. The with the fan blowing gently on the plant to strengthen its stem cut a hole at the top to allow hot air to escape. Watch the temperature as it should be between 70-80. Then I would look in to topping or FIMing your plant to keep it small so its not a 6' delicious lady in your closet. Good luck with the basics and good luck with the grow.
