Issues caused by dirty dehumidifer water?

Im growing no-till living soil and starting around week 4-5 flower when my dehumidifer gets cranking I start mixing that water with spring water to get a healthy dose of trace minerals. I cleaned my dehumidifers receptacle 2 weeks prior to noticing something floating in one of my large jugs of water, so I ran it through 2 strainers (Id usually place cheesecloth between the two but had ran out) and noticed a gross brown slime, Im curious what types of issues this could cause the plant at its worse, is root rot a possibility? This is my 3rd run doing this and I think Im noticing a real slight droop on leaf tips about 2+ weeks prior to starting the dehumid. water, at first I believed it was due to overfeeding as I had slightly done so the first 2 runs.
Its only the top closest to my light with drooping tips this time and it was getting very mild light burn until the light was raised so that may be the issue.

First pics are the brown goop, last pic is the drooping tips.

Relax, everything looks good..

Lol, thanks. Should I continue to strain this brown sludge? I seem to be able remove it quite easily. I try to keep up with cleanings so its not there but builds fast when dehumidifier is running 70%-80% of the time.

I would just add a few drops of bleach, see if it goes away..

Im curious if using an air purifier along side the dehumidifer in my lung room will decrease this buildup.

When I'm using dehumidifier condensate, I make sure to wash/rinse the dehumidifier tank every couple of weeks with a little bit of bleach in water. That seems to keep any bio-growth to a minimum.

I have been growing with dehumidifier water for years in soil and never got root rot. Adding ewc either in solid or tea form should get the microbes to consume whatever bad bacteria is lurking in your dehumidifier. Cannot view your pics for some reason.

could you run a bit of H2O2 in the water to prevent biological buildup?
