Grow Room Using water from dehumidifier ?

[snerval]

Hello AFN !
When RH is too high I run a humidifier in my lung room - it's the kind with a tank to collect water from dehumidification.
I prefer running a hose out of the unit and then to a bucket.
Is it ok to use this water for watering my plants ?
Thanks

I use it to mix my nutrient solutions, not straight.

Thanks for the input.
However my next grow will be organic, I'll be using BioTabs line.

Water out of a dehumidifier is basically demineralized water, but it depends on the coils used.
If they are galvanized you can't use the water as it's considered toxic. Best case only use the water if it's some sort of a stainless steel coil or other inert material.

Wow good to know !
Thank you for the info.
I'll check the unit.

Good rule of thumb is to not use dehumidifier water on any plant you consume or inhale for the reasons mentioned above.
Other house plants, have at it.
