With Spring around the coner. I wonder if I can use the water from the dehumidifier to water my VFT? We run one in the basement in the summer months and I get a lot of water out of it.

Don't use it. A member of the OCPS forum had a bad experience with it.

I was just speculating. Since hackerberry has knowledge of someone using it with bad results, I would go with his answer. Of course, as you say, you can always experiment with a couple of plants and see how it goes.

Yeah, dehumidifiers are different depending on the built. Try the water on some of the less expensive CPs. Experiment is still the best way to go.
