I would think that whatever kills the bad bacteria might also
kill the beneficial bacteria...?  I start the seedlings off in a
self-watering cell gadget, using only plain water. Once they
show 2 true leaves, I replenish the sub-water with my light
soap & fertilizer solution. You cannot believe the speed with 
which they shoot up after that!  

I'm concerned with chlorine in the tap water. That's why I like
to get the water ready to stand around for two days.
