Yes it does. Warm water is the best-use. Cold water is decent. Hot water will kill the seed or grow really slow

Answer:

There are many folk-cures and hear-say remedies for growing plants, many if not most will end in weakening if not killing the plant, the best recourse is to know the plant, know what type of soil it likes, and what kind of nutrients it requires, (well balanced nutrient filled diet) the simple course of action would be: Plain water, Air, Sunlight [full/partial/defused] and a mild form of fertilizer, keeping in mind not to over water or under water.

I think it does and doesn't, because if the water you use contain a low level phosphorous, then it shouldn't affect the growth rate of the plants. I did an experiment and i found out that watering plants with your laundry water doesn't affect the growth rate of the plants, due to the fact that the laundry water that i used contained less phosphorous. But i think that the nutrients in the plants will change.

How does soil affect the growth of plants?

soil is the most important part of growth for plants more so than water. To find what type of soil you have you can take a sample to an extension center and they will analize it for you. If you don't want the bother you can get a general fertilizer at home depot or lowes. In addition get a small bag of mulch which will help the soil retain moisture mix it well then put your plants in water good and wait till they grow. The best type of soil is called loam , which has everything young plants need. sandy soil doesn't retain water hence the mulch or peat. Clay which seems to be the most common and will prevent the roots from growing hence the peat or mulch which will allow root growth
