Does anyone else reuse the water you catch from the dehumidifier running in there grow? I catch mine in 5 gallon buckets and dump into my big blue barrel.

Hi flower time, yes people do use the dehumidifier water. I wish I could do the same, the water around my area sucks.

Yep! I have a little 16 oz dehumidifier in my grow tent and when it gets full i just dump it in one of the pots.
If I were running a huge grow, I'd have a large dehumidifier draining right into my reservoir

Dehumidified water is pretty much the same as distilled. Should be no nutes in it. If the fins become dirty or moldy then the water is not the same as distilled anymore. I dump mine even though the dehumidifier is only a year old.
Yea if your coil is moldy that's no good and should be cleaned as soon as possible. They sell evap coil cleaner at most home improvement stores.
Other than that the worst it will have in it is whatever is floating in your air. So that may or may not be ok. For the most part probably good to go but you could potentially introduce any airborne spores directly into your medium. Not a big risk but possible.
