Water

We have some really crappy water here. I've been buying distilled water and then putting 20-10-20 fertilizer in it. I have dehumidifiers that pull water out of the room. Has anyone captured that water and reused it to water your plants?

why pay for expensive distilled when bottled water will do??
yes dehuidifyer water is ok to use

I use my dehumidifiers water for my newer seedlings and soak rockwool.
Never a problem.
Be sure to adjust the ph before using.

Depends what medium you’re growing in
Coco/hydro 5.5-6.3 (veg lower side/flowering high side)
Soil 6.3-7.5 (soil has self buffering tendencies) minimal adjusting needed

I’d think those ph bottles you have should work.
What’s the chemicals on the label say?
(Main active ingredient that lowers and raises the ph?)
